I just heard about Deb, and so sorry for the families loss. She was always so nice. My prayers are with you all.

Debbie was always there for you if you needed her. When I was in Little League she would always cheer when I came up to bat or made a play in the field. She did that whether I was on the opposing team from Chad or Jason or any other time. Debbie was always happy to see you and made sure you knew how much she loved you.
She will be missed but never forgotten.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Peter

So sorry to hear about Cousin Debbie. Although I haven't seen her in awhile, I will never forget seeing her pretty smiling face at our family reunions in Hamilton. (Jim Kepler's daughter)
