Timmy & Chelsi & Family
All though I never got to meet Debra I felt
Like I knew her well. She wrote to my Mom
all the time and my Mom spoke of her constantly. Mom said I would have fallen in love with her and her personality. Mom
said she always smiled and made her laugh.
Mom also told me of her great love for you
Timmy and you Chelsi and how proud she was
of you. I will keep you and your family
in my prayers. May the beautiful memories
you have of her warm your hearts and make
you smile always. God Bless You.
Love
Theresa Butler

I got to know Deb at the post office several years ago. She began coming to my salon to have her hair cut, etc. and was wonderful advertisement- she sent me so many people that we often joked that she needed to collect a commission. Her laugh, her bright white teeth..the ability she had to bring such life into any situation are just a few things I won't forget. To her Mom, Grandma Agnes, Chelsi, Wendy, Tim...I think of you all and pray your memories will bring you smiles when tears come to your eyes...

Deborah and I grew up together out in Union. I considered her one of my best friends. After moving we lost touch but ran into each other time and again. I always loved her laugh and her smile. She was a truly one of my favorite people. I was sad and shocked to hear of her homecoming. My deepest thoughts and prayers to her husband, Chelsie, Wendy and the rest of the family
How you can show support

I worked with Deborah for a short while, but it felt like a lifetime. We would talk like we had known each other for years. She always made me laugh. Deborah had a wonderful spirit about her. She could always brighten up a room with her smile and laughter. She will truly be missed. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Dear Tim and Chelsi~I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Deborah at Vinton Day Care Center. It has been a long time but I have very fond memories of her. She always wore a smile and was able to make anyone laugh-she could brighten anybody's day with her great personality. Chelsi, you were so young back then but your mom was so proud of you. I am deeply sorry for your loss and your family will be in my prayers.

Dear Chelsi,
I am so sorry for you and your dad and family for the loss of your mom. I will always remember when you and your cousin David attended Montvale Elementary and your mom was often there cheerfully helping in various ways. At the Thaxton P.O. she always made me smile with her bright and joyful face and laugh with her funny anecdotes to share. You both once attended a Christmas program at my church (Walnut Grove Union). I will miss her, even though I hadn't seen her for awhile. My dad (George Walker)really enjoyed seeing your mom at Union Church as well as at the Post office. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers now and ongoing. May the Lord give you comfort and peace. Philippians 3:14, 4:13

Dear Tim and Chelsi, I am so sorry for your loss. I had just met Deborah when she came to work at Liberty. She had such a sparkling personality I don't think she had ever met a stranger she got to know everyone. She made a lasting impression and will be greatly missed.

Tim, Chelsi, and family,
Deborah was such a sweet friend. She made people feel at ease right away in her presence. She had such a great sense of humor, but could speak in a sincere way also. I will miss her beaming smile and personality.
