I was just thinking about Debbie today and how much I enjoyed her company. I feel if she was still here that we would be good friends. I hope her family checks this from time to time and realizes that Debbie is still missed and loved. Julie Osinski

Dearest Michael, Stacey and Josh,

Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your beloved wife and mother. This was a horrific tragedy considering her battles that she Won! Lost too soon! I guess G-d had a different plan! She gave so much and was a wonderful mother and pillar for her husband not to mention her husband was a pillar for her. The comfort now is that she is watching over all of you and she will always be in your hearts.

With much Love, The Rosenbaum Family

Michael, Bobby and I are so very sorry and saddened for you and Stacy and Josh. It was just last month Debbie brought LuLu to my house for a visit as I needed a "Retriever fix" after losing Charley.

When I heard this sad, tragic news, I thought that I always saw Debbie, (no matter how she was feeling, or the occasion), with a smile. Because it was her personality to light up everybody's life. The world is a better place because Deb was in it.
