Thank you for sharing your story with the world.

I knew Debbie and Mark when I was a graduate student at the Unicersity of Pittsburgh. You were both so sweet and welcoming, and so much fun. Fresh from India, I felt comfortable whenever I visited you. Please forgive me if I keep switching between second person and third person. I was just looking up old friends online a few days ago and saw the story about Debbie's cancer and how she had become a spokesperson for early screening. Today I decided to look up your address to send a card and letter, and saw Debbie's obituary. Those two words just don't seem that they should go together. Debbie, you were such a beautiful woman and your genuinely sweet, open and bright spirit is here forever with all who knew you. I am grateful for the gift of having spent some time with you. Rupa

Not even sure where to begin. Debbie, you have been the most incredible best friend. We have had nearly 45 years of memories together. Those memories will comfort me forever--from our weddings, our babies, our many trips to the Cape even before you moved out there, and our trips to Frankenmuth. As in your favorite MSB song "All you get to keep are the memories, you've gotta make the good ones last." You have blessed me in so many ways. I miss you so much it hurts, but I'm happy because you are not suffering any more. I am also comforted knowing I have one of the most kind and beautiful angels watching over me. I love you, Debbie. Forever in my heart you'll always be.
Love, Audrabon

Dear Mark & Family
It was a pleasure to meet you Mark & Debbie. Debbie's talk at our annual Fundraiser in 2013 was so inspiring to all who attended that evening, especially to the many other Cancer patients that were able to attend. We are forever grateful to have met you both that year. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all during this most difficult time. Peace & love always, Ken & Pat Bullen, Trustees of the Adam Bullen Memorial Foundation
