Debbie Kae Davis

I am sorry for your loss, the journey with Alzheimer's is a long and twisted road. I pray that you will find comfort in warm memories, stories and in time, peace. I'd like to share this story of Debbie with you. Debbie and I became immediate friends, meeting at Rigby High in 1970, as we were both from Middleton, Idaho. In time, Debbie moved with her family to Evanston, Illinois, and I, back to Middleton. We stayed in touch, sending handwritten letters to each other every couple of weeks, sharing adventures, challenges and dreams. Fast forward to spring of 1971. I had to step away from school late in the spring semester for health reasons. Soon it was August, and everyone was gearing up for our senior year. My phone rang one morning, and it was Deb, she asked if I was going to be home and indicated she'd like to come by. Later that day, a knock at the door and there was Deb and Judy Winters, hot and tired! They had ridden their bikes from Middleton to Caldwell, to check on me. The purpose of the visit was to talk to me about returning to Middleton High School and completing my senior year. Both were concerned that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so. Deb really encouraged me to return and reminded me of how important completing one's education was. This visit made a significant difference in my life at the time. This act of caring and kindness was a gift, giving me the courage I needed to face the future. I did return and graduated with my class in spring of 1972. I have thought of this memory often. This says a lot about the character of a 17-year-old girl, who became the woman she was, the woman you knew and the friend now passed. I saw Deb last on November 5, 2022. During that visit I recalled this story with her, and I believe she did remember, it brought a smile to her face and tears to my eyes. I want to believe I gave her a gift that day, a glimmer, a reflection of joy and friendship. May she rest in God's peace, Patricia Ferris Le Roy
