I've just learned of Debby's passing and am very, very sorry to learn of this loss. I had the privilege of riding with her on occasion. Her bright personality always made those times all the more enjoyable. My heartfelt condolences to her family. We know she's in Heaven, feeling whole and well. It doesn't keep us from missing her now, but we know we'll see her again. Godspeed, Debby!

Debbie was a wonderful aunt to my children. Not only did she teach them how to ride, but she taught them the responsibilities and work that go along with owning a horse. Her laughter was contagious as well as her sense of good sportsmanship.
She will be missed. My heartfelt sympathy to her loving husband Billy.

I am so sorry to hear about Debra's death. I was employeed by Williams Mullen for 18 years, and got to know Debra during 2006-2007. Even it was a short time and our offices were not the same (she was in Richmond, I was in VA Beach), but I got to know Debra and her compassion for animals. Please accept my sincere condolenses and if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me. May God bless you.

My prayers go out to the family and friends of Debbie. I enjoyed working with Debbie at Hogan & Hartson and my daughter, Amber, and I enjoyed our visit to the stables to meet someone Debbie truly loved -- Scooter Pie! May those who loved Debbie find the peace of Christ she now enjoys.
