Deb, Joe, and Families:
I remember with much love and respect both of your parents. They took me in, sheltered, and cared for me simply because I was Deb's friend. The strength of their love and commitment to each other and family was powerful. It also set very high standards for the types of marriages that Deb and Joe Stockbridge entered into and which thrives today. Strong, loving marriages with the same deep love, commitment, and respect for their own children. Frances had an incredible sense of humor, and hard work ethic. They both loved going to camp and visiting with family and friends there. I miss them both even though it has been years since I have seen them. I think of them often with love and remember the fine example they set for me for the kind of family I was looking for. God bless you all.
