My prayers and thoughts go out to you all. I wish I could turn back the hands of time. God made no one more special than Debbie. I loved her like my sister and wish I had her here to tell her that, I only hope she knows. I take great comfort in knowing that the joy and pleasure she created here for us is now being enjoyed by others in heaven. Debbie, just know that you have entrusted your greatest treasures(Heather/Meagan) with the greatest father there is.

Dear Cousin Larry, Heather, Megan & the Kuharic Family. I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain....but only time and faith can do that. My heart aches for all of you knowing what you are going through, and will go through. But, know that the love Debbie had for all of you (along with special memories that now become previous to your heart) will help you get through your grief, and one day will make you Smile again.
"Through the pain and loss you feel
You can count on our 'support'
We'll be with you in spirit
And in mind and heart and thought
And though it will be difficult
In the days ahead of you
Try to face the future bravely
As Debbie would want you to."
Love you very much. Sandy & Family

Larry, Heather, Meagan, Norval, Pat, and Joe. I am sending you all my deepest deepest sympathy. I will always remember Debbie when I would visit back there with my dad. She was always telling the girls or someone to "suck it up". I will always regret not getting back there to hunt with her. She asked me several times. I always enjoyed the hunting pictures of her with her deer every year and will sure miss seeing them. She always seemed to show up the guys and I loved it. Girl power Debbie. But she is up there with my dad now and they are hunting together, I just know it. You are all in my prayers. Love Sheila, Fremont, California

Im am so terribly sorry to hear of Debbies demise. It is such a shock to lose someone so young and full of life as she was.
