Sarah,
Ryan called and told me about your mom. There is nothing I can say to make this easier for you except that she will live on forever through you and Amy. My mom's spirit never leaves me. Debbie was an amazing lady and I'm thankful to have seen her recently at the TLC Shoppe with Cheryl Lewis...I will remember her deep laugh and dancing eyes and I will never forget her. My prayers are with you and your family.

Our extraordinary Debbie has left us far, far too soon and will be bitterly missed. She brightened the lives of so many people, not the least of which were my mom Julane, and me. We will miss you and remember you always, our dear friend.
