Aunt Deb, I'm at a loss for words. I miss you so much. Even tho I didnt see you as often as I'd liked theres still a huge void with you not being here. I love you so much! It's just not going to be the same. I will take a piece of you w me on that trip we were going to take. You are now my guardian angel and I can already see the signs. To the rest of the family...I know she loved everyone w everything in her. You have the biggest heart Aunt Deb. The best momma and grandma. To Dusty and Dan,...

Rest in peace my dear friend. You will never be forgotten. Although we didn't get to take that "girls trip" that we had talked about I will never forget all the times we had in our younger years. Love you forever! Watch over us, Deb. Til we meet again my friend......
