Jeff and Rebecca, We're so sorry for your loss. Debbie was always so lively, friendly and such a fun person. She even had kind words for an ornery donkey. We will miss her.

To Jeff
One of the things I admired most about Deb was her strength of character. She was a person who took on tough jobs and when she had a job to do you knew it would be done and done exceptionally well.
Losing the person who has shared your life for so many years is a terrible blow. Our condolences to you and Rebecca.
