My heartfelt sympathy is going out to all of you! Jackie, you were an amazing sister to Deb! She surely felt your love and dedication throughout her illness. I am sending love, hugs and prayers to everyone.
May the choirs of angels come to greet her and speed her to paradise. She is at peace and free of all that incapacitated her.

I was saddened to see Deb's obit this morning. My sympathies go out to all of her family! Debbie and I were good friends many, many years ago in grade school at St. Francis. We probably laughed more together as kids than we learned. I have fond memories of Debbie, and I recall riding the bus together in 1974 to go downtown to see our parents, who both worked at Commerce Bank. Music brings back memories, and whenever I hear the song "Rock The Boat" by the Hues Corporation (early 1970's) it reminds me of Deb; I don't remember exactly why, but I seem to remember we both liked that song. I probably danced to it with her at the 7th-8th grade dances. To this day, I still have a little bracelet that she gave me all those years ago. I don't think I ever saw Debbie again after we graduated from St. Francis Xavier grade school, but I never forgot her. RIP Debbie, from your long ago friend, Mike Payne
