Deborah Kay Vicari Tribute

I had know Debbie and her sister for a long time, since Middle school in Tucson az. She after leaving the Navy, she watched my daughter Sandra while I went into Basic Training for the Army in 1994. I knew the person that she married was a photographer/ cameraman for Channel 9 I think it was. I had been with her a couple of nights before her sister came up missing and we went to the memorial at the Reid Park Bandshell here in Tucson and that was the last time we saw each other. I truly miss her alot. God Bless and I will keep on trying to find her sister Dianas killer out there if it wasnt prion. I hope it was not the fiance, or the other guy(teacher). OR it could have been both. I think it was a jealous person, you know who that was. If you know anything about how to get ahold of her parents, please let me know, I send my condolences. write me at beaupresn@yahoo.com. KIT and Debbie RIP.

God bless

Debbie was more than a friend to me, she was part of my family…
An old Navy friend lost for years only to be found again.
Even though 17 years had passed since we last spoke, it was like that time was just a blink in time, and she worked her special magic, in her special way.
The way only she could, to steal my head and heart, all without even trying.

She became part of my heart and family, and she introduced me to hers, her children were never far from her mind or heart, even though she could not be with them.
She told me how much they meant to her often, and at times though tears, and how much she wanted to be there for them.
My own daughters loved her as a friend as much as I loved her and made her welcome with us.

When she wanted to go and chase her dream, I could not stand in her way, but was there for her whenever and however I could.
Her music was her dream and her way to bring a better life not just for her but for her sons, daughter and the memory of her sister.

I cannot put the depth of my profound loss into words, other than to say that I will miss her smile, her magic and her music.

Deb, I will see you in my dreams, with red wine and roses, young and beautiful forever….

…Love Dan…

PS: To Josh, Alec, Joey and Vita, your Mom loved you more than anything in this world and will be there in her special way with you always… I know, she told me to tell you she loves you all, always and forever…

I miss you so much. We have shared 17 years of divorces and kids...you are my very first sister I have ever had. I will miss you and your mom so very much. I remember when we first sang Karaoke all those years ago.

I miss us both talking to each other and reminding each other to "keep it real". You have earned your peace dear friend and until we meet again.

Love,

Thank you Debbie for your gift of song and your compassion to other survivors. I will forever treasue the cd you gave me. I have a vivid memory of our conversation and the simiarities you said we shared in losing a loved one and the ongoing grief that we live with. Your gift of song gave you comfort and your gift of song will continue to give that comfort to others. We will miss you.
