It's hard to believe that it has been 3 years since her passing. I still think of her often and miss her. I regret I never got to say goodbye or tell her how much she meant to me. My life is better because she was in it.

Praying that God blesses the family with the peace in knowing that Debbie's not suffering anymore and she's home. We are thankful for the times we shared, so many years filled with a lot of love, laughter and some tears. She will be missed. May God bless and keep all of you . Mary Rose Mitchell's children

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. She will be greatly missed by many. She was very special in many ways and was a wonderful person. But most important to me, she was my friend. To me that meant the world because I knew no matter where our lives took us or how many years passed between us, she would always be there for me! That is the type of friend she was and I will miss her greatly!

I am at a loss for words. I know there is nothing for me to say that will make your loss easier but know that I am sending you my love and support. I hope you can understand what I can't put into words.
