On this day every year, well this week actually, I never know how to feel. On the one hand, it's hard to imagine that she has been gone so long.  On the other hand, it's hard to imagine what life would even be like- what I would even be like- if she were still here. It's bittersweet that life just seems to continue. . . perhaps that's one reason I created this website. I was tired of feeling like my mom got left behind as the world changed, as I changed. It's also a weird day for me as this loss is so closely tied to my own sense of aging, being that my birthday is in 2 days.

I hope you take some time today to think about Debi and share your memories of her on this site. Our memories will help her live on in our hearts.

It has been nearly 16 years since I lost my mother.  But Deborah Boggs Mock wasn't just my mother.  She was a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and probably most importantly and most often forgotten: she was a woman. A woman with her own thoughts, her own opinions, her own hopes and dreams and goals.  This memorial website is my attempt to honor my mother for all that she was, and I know that I cannot do that on my own because I was only privy to a small part of who she was.  I hope that this website is a place where we can all come together to share our memories and remember Debi for who she was: mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, woman.

    Debi's daughter, Lauren

    I created this memorial website to learn more about my mother.  Because she died when I was 12, I know her only as a mother and very little about her as a woman. It is my hope that this website provides an outlet for all those who knew her to reminisce and share and learn about a wonderful woman who died too young.
