My deepest sympathy to Debbie's family and friends. She was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed. She was an amazing friend and neighbor to my mom. I will miss going to my mothers house and either finding Debbie in my moms garden or my Mom in Debbie's garden. Rest in peace.

Debbie,
You will be sorely missed by us. It was always a pleasure to walk next door and have a long chat with you (because there was always so much to talk about)! I always felt so blessed to have you as a landlord and as a friend. I am saddened you don't get to see the outfit you got JT as he is finally big enough to wear it. I was going to bring him over this weeks in it. I hope you see in him in above. I offer my condolences to you family your sisters and brother and friends. You will be missed by all.
