Deborah Gail Thornton Lewis

Dear Peggy, Tom, Mary Lynn, Steve and Gary, I just learned last night from my Mom that Debbie was gone. She also did not know right away. I have such memories of Debbie as we were growing up in school and at New Hope church. I hate that as we grow up we lose touch with each other. The last time I saw her was at a yard sale she had at her home a few years back. When we were growing up, we used to spend the night with each other for a while there. We rode her horses, shared secrets, and...

To the Thornton Family and Steve...How sad I am to learn of Debbie's passing. Like my other classmates, I remember her wonderful smile, her love of horses, and her singing those songs of the late sixties, in particular, "Daydream Believer", in class. From Southwood to South Lenoir, Debbie, you will always be in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.....Edgar Banks class of 72

Dear Heather and family,
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. Know that the thoughts and prayers of many are with you in your time of grief.

Mary Lynn and family. I am so sorry about Debbie. I pray that God will hold you in his arms and give you that peace that passes all understanding.

Peggy and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To Debbie's family, I was so shocked to find that Debbie had passed. The last time I saw her, she was so positive and excited about life. She made me feel better just to share those few moments with her. May God bless each of you.

Dear Tom,Peggy,Steve,Mary Lyn, and Gary, I am so sorry to hear about Debbie. My cousin Snow, just emailed me or I would have never known. Quite honestly, I am in shock right this moment but I wanted you all to know that though I have been gone from Kinston for 32 years now, I have never forgotten you and I send my love and prayers to you all. And to you, my precious Peggy, how I wish I could come and hold you right now. I hope you know what a wonderful mother you are and I know that you and...

To Debbie's Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Debbie's passing...She was a kind and wonderful person and dear friend...It's sad we grow up and loose track of each other...One of my favorite and funniest memories is when Debbie, Janice (Houston) and I went riding horses on the street that ran behind our houses....It was my first time riding and both Debbie and Janice tried to guide me along....All was going well until we got almost to Camelia Street and my horse decided to keep on...

Jim,
I am so sorry that is has taken two recent losses for you and I to re-connect. I did not know Debbie, but I know you and I know that she must have been a wonderful person. I hate that I never had the opportunity to truly meet and get to know her. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and my prayers. Love to you,
Lorri
