Debbie and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I did not know Mr. Deeb but know that Debbie spoke so highly of him. Her words to describe him were, " the kindest, sweetest Daddy anyone could every have." I don't think any words could be better to describe anyone.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Deeb family. "Big Eddie" was such a positive role model during a very impressionable time of my life. I will alway remember him as a man of integrity and true friend of my family. May God's arms hold you during this time of sorrow.

My Dearest Deeb Family:
You knew what a treasure your Tata was and warmly and generously held him while you could, learning from him, loving him, blessing him before he departed. Observing your love story unfold, Steve and I, too, were blessed and inspired. We know your souls will continue to gaze upon Tata's face as he smiles back at you from within everything you continue to brighten by your glowing beauty and kindness--and from within every heart that loves you.
We join you in celebrating the gifts Tata brought to this earth.
Love, Jo Ann and Steve
