Dearest Debs,

I simply cannot find the right words to convey just how much you mean to me.

Although you and I have never met in person, we have become so much more to one another than just casual "internet buddies."

You have become the "sister" I have always longed for, the forever true "friend" we all hope for, and so very much more to me.

You are always there for me during the "good" as well as the "bad" times. In our lives unfortunately, there have been more "bad" than "good" times, and we have remained by each other's side through it all.

I wish that your family filled your life and heart with "love" because I know that is what you "long" for. They are missing something very, very "special" in their lives...and that is "you."

I pray that one day those that have hurt you the most by their lack of communication and caring will see the error of their ways and will open up their arms and hearts to you.

This website that I maintain for you is a "meager" gesture of love and friendship. You are so very talented, and I consider it an "honor" to be your "webmistress", as well as your "friend."

Always remember that you are not alone in this world. You have many friends who love you deeply. We are truly blessed to have you in our lives!

You will always be my "Lucy." :)

I love you,
Ellen ("Ethel")
