I´m still in shock & am heartbroken that we have all lost Debbie way too soon. She was such fun to be around all through junior high at Van Buren & also Fairmont West. I will miss her cute texts with the emoji´s & will especially miss her in May, during the Indy 500. Thoughts & prayers to Debbie´s family. We will miss you more than you will ever know. Love you sweet lady!
