Mike... How is it that it is seven years later and I'm now learning of this? I could say that, "I knew Debbie when..." But you know the rest of the story. I was grateful for her friendship, but more grateful to see the two of you together those many years ago. I pray she finished strong... 1988 could have been a horrible year for me, but Debbie showed me I could still hope. May she forever rest in peace. Bo Yeshua Bo...

Dear Mike,
I know you are brokenhearted and we are all praying for God to help you through this. When Larry died it took many years before I felt as though I could go on. I loved Debbie so much and she was a big part of my life 15 years ago.I will always be sad that I did not see her recently. I am the only Holtry in the Summerville SC listings if you feel like talking anytime.

Dear Mike, I wish I could be there for Debbie's service. She surely will always be a special lady in my mind and heart. I'm so thankful that I got to know her so well when you guys worked in CT those few weeks....and grateful for that week with you in California. Also I'm grateful that we will all be together on an even Higher Level someday.
God bless you. from your CT aunt.
