My heart is broken... I met Debi about 16 years ago, when I was a Deputy for the Fairfield County dog shelter... She was a true advocate for those who could not speak... I was privileged to have her as a friend... Until I see you you again, rest in pain free peace my sweet friend...

My heart is broken! Deb and I went to school our senior year together. We had many good times. Deb helped me through a very hard time and was always there to lend an ear. It's been years since I have seen her, I will always remember her kind heart and loving nature. She fought a good fight and the Lord Jesus Christ called her home. No more suffering! I will forever keep her in my heart and pray that I can be as strong as Deb was. My sweet friend rest in Peace with our Savior.
Praying for the family in these hours of grief. With love and hugs, Guy Smith, RN, MSN
