Candy, Lisa, David, Tracy and Jamie, I have so many wonderful memories of Debbie when I was growing up and in Junior High and High School. I remember going to church every Sunday with you for years and being at the house probably about as much as I was home. I know Debbie will be missed by many but mostly by her siblings and Rick. Know that even though I won't be able to attend the services as I am away on the West Coast my thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. God bless you. Beth Morgan Polvino
