Hey Deb, I'm thinking of you and sending my best wishes to your family. Always, Becki

Deb, I still remember the 'cheer' you taught me in 1970. I was 13 yrs. old. I waited with you for Mike Bailey, the first time you went out on a date with him. I also remember Mike Daleezle who lived across the street and bought you Bazooka bubble gum by the 100 pieces. When you had your bed room redecorated I wrote, "Becki was here" on your freshly wallpapered wall. I remember the Sat. morning you called me to tell me to turn on the radio, a new song by the Bee Gee's was playing: 'Lonely...

I had the pleasure of working with Debbie at Dobson Library. She would arrive early on Saturday mornings with so much happiness and enthusiasm. She loved to laugh and the day would always be brighter because of Debbie. My deepest condolences to Debbie's family and close friends.

To Debbie's Family,
Thank you for sharing your mother with so many of us. You saw the outpouring of love expressed at her memorial service. I always looked forward to our times together.
Her time on earth went by much too quickly but we will all keep her memory alive in our hearts. May God's loving arms enfold you all.

I saw Debbie a little over a year ago and she told me "I don't feel sick, they tell me I'm sick but I don't feel it". She was such a positive person and full of life. I'll remember her kindness and laughter.

Without a doubt, Debbie was one of the funniest persons I have ever known. When Debbie and Gail Benton performed a "60's Flower Children's Story Time" at Jane and Kevin Rognlie's talent show party, they were very authentic and very hilarious. I can still see her in her headband with her long beautiful hair holding a long stem daisy. I also got to work with her at the Mesa Public Library's "Pet Show" for kids where she was a "judge" and came up with bizarre and unusual awards (Fluffiest...

Courtney, Kim, and Chris,
My heart sank as I heard the news. I am sending you all the hugs and love in the world. Your mom is so awesome, she always made me laugh and crazy enough I loved the way she smelled. I know it is not easy, but remember the big smiles and all the laughter as you move through life. Hugs and kisses to you all.
