DEBRA WESTFALL

About Debbie,
I first met Debbie in August of 1976, just after her 14th Birthday, I remember doing some silly antics to make her laugh, liked her laugh.
Some years later she would ask me for a promise, which I broke, she told me that she would tell how and where she met Bob. I was not to laugh as she told the story, I did anyway after finding out they met at 'FairyLand'.
As her MS increased, I would chat to her on line and a few phone calls to see how she was doing. She made me...

Debbie,
I remember all the good times we had together. You were very brave to fight in this life for all the things that others just take for granted. You are an inspiration. I will miss talking with you. Now you are free to be the person you have always been, no longer trapped in your body. Goodbye cousin, I know I will see you again!

Debbie, we first were neighbors and then I became one of your caregivers, you had a great personality and a wonderful smile. You will be sadly missed,
Joyce Barfield

I love you Mama.

Dear Debbie,
I will always remember the wonderful memories I shared with you and Janet on your wedding day. We had so much fun and it was an honor for me to stand by you on that special day. I also remember all the times we ran into each other at UC Berkeley and our great talks. You and your sister were a large part of my life back in those days and I will always miss you. Now you are at peace and laughing with Janet and for me that is a peaceful thought.

Much love old...

Deb,
I have great memories of high school and sharing good time with both you and your sister. You both got along so well. I am sad that your are not longer with us but cannot help but think you are so much better off dancing around with your sister Janet. You will be missed by so many. Until we see you again.

Dear Debbie,

I remember the first day you arrived at Hillside School to begin your teaching career. I knew from that meeting that you were someone very special. You became a great teacher and role model for your students. All of us, students, staff and parents, loved you for your skill and wonderful personality. I was very fortunate to have been your principal and, most of all, your friend. My wife, Pam, and I will miss you very much.

My dearest Debbie,

You were not only my daughter, but you have also been my best friend and confidant. Even through all the life challenges you endured, your unselfish love for others showed through as you constantly gave me encouragement and support when I needed you.

I will miss our many phone calls with each other, and the three-way calls we had to my Mom, your grandmother. Her voice lite-up when you would say, "Hi Grandma, how are you...
