Uncle Wayne, My thoughts and prayers are with you to help you through this difficult time. Debbie was a joy to our family. I will forever remember her sitting for hours in mom and dad's backyard with Tyler and Sage picking four leaf clovers. The kids were amazed that she could always find them, and when she would give them some they were soo excited!! Everytime we find a four leaf clover it will bring a smile to my face knowing that she will have lead us to them. Debbie will be greatly missed.
We Love You, Michele, Billy, Sage and Tyler
