I was so very sorry to hear about Debbie, she was a Dear Friend, we worked together for many years, we had some good times together with lots of laughter. I know she will be missed by all that knew and LOVED her, she was a sweet person. Take comfort knowing she is suffering no longer and she is in Gods hands now!

Debbie -I was thinking today about how it didnt take much to make you happy or laugh..I know you will be watching over all of us from heaven like your watching a never ending soap opera.Laughing and smiling because between all of us you know there is never a dull moment.Your spirit will be here for the ups & downs and even though We can't see you we know you will be in our hearts and thoughts every day.There will never be a time that goes by we wont have something that reminds us of you that cant make us smile..I made the best batch of the gravy you taught me how to make on Christmas.( still not anywhere near as good as yours) Wendy made the pasta salad she learned how to make from you and Steph said she made the green beans just like you made them.. If it wont for you the only thing Wendy & I would know how to make is soup & grill cheese sandwiches because you know thats all mom knows how to make.(ha-ha) Jacob had a stocking that you got him last Christmas and handed it to my mom and said that he thinks you would of wanted her to have it.It was so sweet.. Cameron has been saying a lot of sweet things too that makes our hearts melt..We all miss you so much already--- Love you, Amy

I miss you so much already. Thank you for always welcoming me into your home and making me feel like family. Very sad to go home from lunch today for the first time and not see you there. But I know you're watching over us. I could go on and on. I don't know if you can head this from Heaven but I hope you know how much you mean to me. Love, Carrie

Your angel is now at peace and has gone home to the peaceful land and now rest in the greatest hands of all. We love you Debbie and will miss you always.
