One of the things I remember is when we were younger how even then Debbie was so sweet and affectionate towards everyone. She is now in Heaven by her Dads side. So sorry you were taken so soon. God Bless you!

Debbie always made the courtroom a warm, friendly place. Her ready smile and caring, can-do attitude always brightened the day for parties, staff and judges. You are sorely missed, Debbie.

I met Deb at Walmart & just think of her as one of the kindest & warm hearted people I got blessed with. She was always giving warm hugs for greetings & loved all. A very gentle lady. God Bless you Martinez family & my condolences for both your losses. Your in my prayers. Cathy M

Like a lot of others, I knew Debbie from working with her at the court. The very first time I saw her, I walked into the court room she was working alone in, and she didn't even know me, but she gave me that big beautiful smile that always warmed my heart. I loved to make Debbie laugh, and she was a good sport at putting up with my lame jokes. I don't mean to make light of the situation; on the contrary, I still feel like the wind has been knocked out of me. The two things I will remember are that smile that lit up her entire face, and her limitless pride and love she had for her son. God bless her family. Feeling the way I do, I cannot even imagine their pain and feeling of loss.

I want to extend my sincerest condolences to the family of my friend Debbie. She and I spent many wonderful years working together in the same courtroom. She was my friend and an important part of my life and I feel her loss deeply. I will miss her smile and her humor. Debbie was one of the most responsible, honest, kind and principled people I have ever met. She was a self made woman. Everything she had, she earned. I have many wonderful memories of my friend. And to her son Brandon, when I look at you I see her. She was so proud of you. Remember, I am a phone call away. Everyone who knew Debbie will understand this story. I told her that my husband and I were planning a trip. She looked at me and said "when you make plans, god laughs!" That was so Debbie. Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye. RIP my forever friend.

?REST IN PARADISE DEBBIE?

"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord"
HEAVEN SURE GAINED A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL!!

May GOD bring Peace, Strength and Healing upon the Family.

~ GO AND RUN FREE ~
So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me

Prayers & Huggs ~ Love all of You!!
GOD BLESS!
