Read MoreSteven, Brian and Billie our thoughts are with you all. Growing up next door Debbie was first our baby sitter, then later in life she helped to frame many of my cross-stitch projects. Ma and I enjoyed listening to her many cross country adventures. Love the Zanelli’s

Debbie framed many of my cross-stitch works. She was a great pleasure to work with. Over the years, we became friends. I kept thinking I needed to call her and go for lunch. I am so sad to believe she is gone. I hope her soul spanned the globe and she was able to see all her favorite places. Do not hesitate to make plans today because you might not be able to do it tomorrow. I wish I had called her.

I saw the name, Deb Mateyov and immediately what came to mind was her love of art. She had such a gift that will always be missed. So sorry for your loss, it's never easy to lose a loved one.
