To Deb's family I am so sorry to hear about your loss..too young to leave us all. I knew Deb for a short time, our common bond was our art. The art word will definitely miss her, she was a positive force and a beautiful women inside and out. I especially loved her laugh. Hope your memories bring you joy and comfort.

Art is a gift and Deborah was gifted and gave that gift to others. I am honored to have been in one of her painting classes. Nancy Ralston

The one person I could really just sit and paint with. Total silence or quiet conversations about life, our kids, our lives...loved being a studio partner with her and was sad when that phase of my life ended. I'm sending loving thought to her daughters, grandson and extended family.

Deb was a good friend for so many years. She had the ability to open eyes and ears to new ideas. She challenged me to find abilities in myself that she saw and I never knew existed. She was born to teach and did it so well. I will miss our adventures, the wonderful laughs that we had and all of our philosophical discussions. She was one of a kind. Sending healing hugs to Sarah, Rach and all of Deb's extended family and friends.

Deb, I was blessed to have our paths cross and be surrounded by your art in my office. You are an amazing artist and spirit. I know you'll love working on a bigger canvas and sense your hand in the amazing sunsets we've had lately. Lots of Love, Lisa
