I was a childhood friend of Debbie's growing up on Missouri Ave in Flint way back in the day.... Her Mother Amy just passed away in 2017 and I was shocked to see that Debbie had passed away several years ago in 2008 - I had not talked to her in many years but always kept up with her thru her Mother. Her parents were special friends of my parents. RIP dear old friend - sorry it took so long for me to send this note!!

I read Debbie's views on many subjects on the hockey message boards. She was a very intelligent woman who spoke her mind freely. Her input on the boards will be sorely missed. God bless her and her entire family. I am sorry for Debbie's passing.

I only knew Deb through her postings on hockey forums and of her love for Flint Pro Hockey but became a big fan of hers. We shared many views when it came to hockey and current events. I am sure I had met her at Generals games back in the 70's and 80's. God bless her, Terry, and all of her family and friends. Her insight on many things, will be missed by my wife and I.

Terry, Jill, Bruce, Todd and Melissa, I was so sad to read in the paper today about Deb. While I had not seen her or talked to her in years, I thought about her often and kept telling myself that someday I would look her up and we could reconnect. She was a kind and generous person who was alway's proud of her childern. You will all be in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time.
