It is hard to find a way to express how very sorry I am that Debbie had to go so soon. The Lord and her Daddy both must have needed her as a special angel. It is my prayer that you all find comfort in knowing that the Lord has prepared a beautiful place for her.
Debbie's friendly way and contagious laugh will stay in the hearts of all who knew her.

Whenever I was having a bad day, I thought of Debbie. Nothing held her back. She had an infectious laugh and beautiful disposition. The world would be a better place if there were more "Debbie's" in it. God's blessings of peace and comfort be with each of you. We are all blessed to have our lives touched by such a beautiful soul! Much love from West Virginia! Faye Funkhouser Sherman and family.

Fundraising was a special event for Debbie. When she came in to see me, I would always say "Yes, I'd love to donate" because it was always a great cause. I...
