Debra S. LaValley

To one of the closest friends I have ever had the privilege of calling just that-friend. No one can ever, EVER replace her. I will miss her so very much. She was so kind hearted, funny, caring, beautiful, talented. What a gift she was to all of us. And through it all, she continued to be a very brave, strong woman. I am proud to have known her!

Debbie will truly be missed by all who had the privilege of know her wonderful personality and beautiful work. We have had the true honor of knowing her, her art and her friendship... Debbie & frank Tarantino

Debra's passing is a great loss to the world of artists and craftsman. i watched her develope her skills over a thirty year period and she kept growing and kept refining her skills and techniques and she just got better and better at it. she really had her own distinctive style that was reconizable and set her apart from everyone else. a truely remarkable person and will be missed by everyone who knew her.

ToGary Adams and Hoover:
I loved working with Deb when we showed her jewelry. She was the most wonderful person. We became friends over those years. My heart goes out to you, Hoover and Debs family.

A beautiful person has left us and we are so very sad. We will miss her beauty, her skill, her laughter and her friendship. She has many, many friends who loved her and shared their lives with her. She was a real trooper who battled cancer with dignity and strength.
Just one of her many friends, Joan Arlette
