Justin,

I was listening to the radio today and recognized your voice. I am so sorry to hear about your great loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

November 23, 2009

With children and a family of my own, I cannot begain to imagine the emptiness and sorrow you are all feeling right now. I will be thinking of her and all of her loved ones in many days to come. I will pray for your healing at this great time of loss. Think of the good times and of what a beautiful little girl you have to carry on her spirit!

Justin and Deb's family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have not been able to stop thinking about her (and you all) since I heard the sad news. Debbie and I became friends in 5th grade when my sister and her oldest brother started dating. We both petitioned to be on the high school track and soccer teams in junior high, and we spent a lot of time together at practices and games. We used to joke about being related because we shared the same last name. Deb was an energetic, dependable teammate and a good friend.

Although we hadn't talked since high school, she has a permanent place in my heart and in my memories. I already miss her dearly. Know that I am praying for you -- for peace and strength.

Sincerely, Amy Witty and family

Justin,

Words cannot describe what you are going thru and the depth of our sorrow for your loss. Kelsey Marie will be your light and reminder of the love you shared with Deb.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you to gain the strength and peace you need at this time. Let us know if there is anything you need.

Your friends, Karen and Dave Anderson

Deb and I were co-workers/friends at ESI...sitting right across from each other. Deb and I shared lots of laughs, and talks about life, family, and motherhood. She is greatly missed. A picture of Kelsey now sits on her desk...and she is beautiful, just like Deb.

My thoughts are with her family, who she clearly loved so much.

November 19, 2009

Justin, Kelsey, and the Swanson and Webster Families, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember friendly Deb from her High School Days with Marisue Gleason, my daughter. I am sure you will have wonderful memories to share with Kelsey about Deb.

i had the privilege of working with little miss deb at oph edina a lifetime ago (i'll never forget how proud marion was when she was hired!)...she was probably 15 or 16 years old...i remember a little spitfire with a beautiful smile, a warm hug, a fun-loving spirit, and a generous heart. my heart is smiling through its tears at the memories of working with her.

my love goes out to her friends, her parents, her husband, and most especially to her beloved little girl.

To Justin and family,

In Sympathy and Friendship

No one can experience this sadness as you do,
For your feelings are unique and very personal to you...

No one can begin to know exactly how you feel,
Except to know that sorrow such as yours is deep and real -

But if you need some comfort and some help to see you through,
Just know how much you’re cared for by all those who think of you.

Keeping You Close in Thought, Nancy B (Medtronic team)

To Deb's loved ones--I knew Deb through mutual (soccer) friends, and had no trouble understanding the spunk, impishness, intelligence, and more that drew them to her. There are no words for a tragic loss such as this, just prayers for the beautiful Kelsey, Justin, and everyone who will miss her so much.

Truly there are no words to satisfy the grief you now feel. But if anything can be said, it would be to remember the love you shared with Deb...and that she shared with you.

Justin, Kelsey, Deb's whole family:
I worked with Deb at Allianz Life and then HCC Life and always ran into her in the restroom, swiftly changing from her work clothes to serious sports clothing, so she could rush off to play soccer or volleyball. She was full of vitality and energy - may some of that vitality remain with you and give you the strength you'll need for these coming difficult days. I am so saddened for your loss.
