Deborah L. KENDALL

I just today discovered Mrs. Kendall's passing, 14 years after, through an unlikely string of thoughts.

Dear Kendall Family,
Words can't tell you how saddened I am to hear of Debbie's passing. As a former student (Class of 82) she was wonderful with keeping in touch, always interested in what and how I was doing.

Ms. Kendall was an absolute joy; a remarkable individual. I cannot find the words to properly describe what a blessing she was to all that knew her. I am so very fortunate to have had her teach my son Ben. Heaven is an even greater place now that she is there!!!!!

Dear Mr. Kendall, Your wife was an inspiration to so many, and loved by all. She was always sincere, and caring to me and my children. She will be missed but never forgotten.

Kay & I are deeply saddened by the loss of Debbie. We can still see her as a small girl playing with her brothers. We continue to pray for all the family. God bless!
