Dearest Garland, Zach and Trevor,
I was so very sorry to learn about Debbie's passing. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out, who I liked and admired so very much. There aren't any perfect words at this time; but I pray that you pull strength from each other with love and let the wonderful memories keep you strong. I can hear Debbie now and I know her love is with you, now and always.
With my thoughts and prayers,
Stephanie

Garland & Boys,

I am so sorry for your loss, she was a wonderful person. I could never repay you both for the many times you both ministered to me and my children while they were growing up. I loved listening to her play the hymns on the organ and piano. I know how much you will miss her.

Garland and family,

Our hearts go out to you right now. We remember when you hosted us at your church and the fun evening we had together.
God's ways are not our ways, but we know that He makes NO mistakes. We are thankful that Debbie loved the LORD and is resting from her battle with cancer now. We pray God will guide you through the coming times - we will not forget to pray.
