I was shocked and grieved stricken, when I read this news on Sam Rayburn High page. My sincere regrets to Mrs. Brandon, her sisters and brothers as well. As a child growing up down the street from Debbie, we were close friends for years, we were so close, I felt like I was a part of the family, I was at the Brandon's house so much. I moved away and Debbie and I lost touch on and off threw our mid 20's, because of my moving. I knew Evie and Sandy when they were small beautiful girls. I went to Tenessee to help Debbie out when Evie went in the hospital for minor surgery,to take care of Sandy, while Debbie sat by Evie bedside at the hospital.Glad I could help. I am sorry we did not keep in touch over the years. Some of my fondest memories of growing up, were the times I spent goofing around with Debbie. She could always make me laugh. My regrets to all, her Mother, brothers, sisters and children and grandchildren. I agree, the Debbie I knew would want her family to smile and to be happy and remember her well, as I do. God Bless you all

In loving memory of Debbie Akins
I would like Debbie Akins daughters to have this;
I think Deb's family would like to know she really felt this way.
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave knowing of happy times.
I'd like the tears of thoses who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done
And for all I'd like to leave by letting you know we will be together in our after life.
So I leave you in this world and take your love with me into my next adventure.
I love you all
Mom

Sis and Dori, I know this is a very hard time. I love you both and I loved your Mom as my own. You girls and ya'lls family meant the world to your Mom. She will be missed by all. Here is a little poem for you girls....
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
