RIP Debby. I remember Debby as a kind person in high school. I was very sad to hear of her illness. I am glad she is free of pain now. Prayers to the family and friends. You will see her again.

Jeff I am so sorry to hear of Debby's loss to this horrible disease. It's so unfair that the sweetest, most generous and selfless people are taken but I think it confirms that God is bringing them to a better place. She is a beautiful angel in heaven now and will watch over you. I'm thinking of you and your family.

Whenever I would run into my cousin at Loveland events etc, I would see her terrific smile like in this picture of her and hear that little giggle--it will be forever in my heart!

Dear Marisa and Ashley,
I was so saddened to hear about your mom. I remember your mom helping out in the classroom, on field trips, or at our holiday parties. She always had a beautiful smile and warm laugh. I could tell she cared very much about her family and she loved being an involved parent. She was very proud of the two of you. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, your dad, Shelby and Kyle.
Love,
Mrs. Burke
