Not sure what to say?

I think about Deb so very often, saving her last text to me in my phone. I know God is taking very good care of her in Heaven.

I still have the last text saved that Deb sent to me the day before leaving us for Heaven. I look at it every single day. I miss our friendship so much.

I am so sad to hear about Debbie. I found out from Mary Lynn Thomas who saw the news in the Scotus newsletter. We just found out last week and my heart is really grieving. There was never a better person born than Debbie.

She will be missed and remembered by all of us. We had many great times together. So sorry for your loss.

I’m so very sorry to hear of Deb’s passing. My heart aches for you. She was a wonderful woman and she loved her family so much. Surrounding you with love.

So thankful that Deb was a part of my life! What a wonderful and beautiful friend she was. Many great times filled with laughter and shared stories. I miss her greatly but I know she´s with Ron and in a very beautiful place. Thanks "sister", love you!

In loving memory of a wonderful person that touched so many people´s lives. We will always love you Deb. Forever

I worked with Deb at US Bank until I retired in 2008. What an amazing lady she was, always willing to help in any way that she could.
My sincere condolences to her family. She left a wonderful legacy, you can be very proud.

So many wonderful memories and laughs to think about with Deb over the decades we worked together at US Bank. I miss her so deeply it takes my breath away. One thing I know for certain is how intensely Deb loved her family and grandkids. Now being in heaven with Ron and watching her family grow and thrive while at "home" with God must be a beautiful view for my beautiful friend. Love you, Deb.
