Debbie you always brightened my day with your sunny disposition. You were an awesome friend and neighbor. I'll always remember the times we had together like driving to A&W and around Wyandotte Co. lake in your gold toyota when we were teenagers and spending afternoons together after school in your room with the orange and yellow people wallpaper while you talked to your friends on the phone and when you'd start dinner for your family. Love and miss you. Rest in peace.
Always your friend,
Gretchen

I will always remember her smile. She was best friends with my sister for many years. So sorry to hear of her passing. She would put a cross on my sisters grave every year. Peace to her family.

A friend is like a star that twinkles and glows
Or maybe like the ocean that gently flows
A friend is like gold that you should treasure
And take care of forever and ever
A friend is ..........
