To Carl and the family;
I was shocked to hear of Debbie's Passing. I heard it on Saturday at EKU's homecoming. Had I known, I would have been there at the service. I remember the first time I met Debbie at EKU's Freshman orientation . She and I clicked and enjoyed a special friendship as fellow AME's. I was so very fond of her. Her smile and caring disposition made you love her. She was a blessing to so many.
May God keep you in his care

To The Greenfield Family:
Angels walk amoung us everyday and GOD took home one of the best. She was so special to me. She made my walk in the VA so much better everyday. I loved her and I miss so much. I can not even stop to think how you must feel, But remember she is never gone from our hearts or our minds. There she will remain until I see her again.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IN HIS LOVING ARMS.

To the family of "Ms. Debbie" as I called her. I want you to know how much she meant to me - she made my work life so much better. She was gifted with the ability to make you feel special. She went out of her way to include you in special office events and always remembered things about you that few would have. I miss her a great deal, but know I will see her again. I will carry her memory with me always. I pray in Jesus's name that the Holy Spirit comfort you.

To the Greenfield Family,
I met Mrs. Greenfield through church. From the day that I met her, I knew she was truly a Christian woman. When I ever I would see her at church or out in the community her SMILE was always radiant. The smile and her demeanor always captured my attention. Her presence will greatly be missed.
God Bless You All,

Debbie and I worked together for many years at the VA. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and I find myself chuckling even now at some of her funny observations of life. And she was so thoughtful, always looking for ways to build other people up, remembering the special occasions in their life, and always asking about their family. She was a lovely lady, who touched many people. Blessings to you, Carl and to the children.

Deborah was a good and kindhearted human, and I consider it a great priveledge to have known and worked with her for many years at VAMC. She will be missed every day and the hallways there will not be the same without her smiling face.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I went to high school with Debbie and remember our times in English class. She was a wonderful person then and, I'm sure that continued all her life with her family and nursing. You have my prayers.
