I remember having a conversation with you telling you I wanted you to be there to see me be the person who I wanted to become. See me reach my point in my life where I was in my career and personal accomplishments.. I remember telling you thank you for everything because without you being apart of my life i wouldn't be the person who i am. I had the need to call you this past weekend and realized that I couldn't call and see what you were cooking cuz I wanted a pork chop, your pork chop badly and was hit the realization that you had gone home. The pain that hit my stomach and heart was uncontrollable but the thought of you looking and now always walking with me in peace brings a smile when sadness arrives. Its a tough thing to handle with your link being missing in us as Moore's but you know what Auntie Debbie....You did see the person, the true person who I have become and I thank and Love you to my soul. Tell Satchell I said what's up fat cat. Miss you much and you will never be out of my life now because your always in my heart. Oh and I had a southern comfort sunrise for you too. Love you with all my heart, your niece Sha'Leya

Auntie Debbie,
Words can't express the love I have for you... My very soul hurts and my entire foundation has been shook! I know that a new Angel has been received in Heaven and you are resting~ the pain is gone and the struggle is over. I am going to miss your laugh and a good fried pork chop!! lol :~) You have taught each and everyone of us in this family we are a LINK. When one falls we all fall! I have always took that to heart and I still stand on that today~ As we all watched you become tired and restless we knew one day you would sleep... Today one branch of our tree is missing but we know you are resting.. I love you Auntie and I know we will one day meet again... Until then Auntie Debbie, sleep on,sleep on~~~~

The first time I ever met Debbie I was 19 years old and had just got off a train from Ft. Ord California. Tiered and warn from my long trip but excited about meeting my sisters new family. First house we stopped in at about 8 pm at night was Debbie home. She got up and made us some coffee. I thought who drinks coffee this late at night. Debbie handed me a cup and asks “How the hell you stay on a train for four days with all those funky a** people.� It was her way of embracing me and telling me I was a part of the family too. She spent that week I was in town showing me around Lowell. She also introduced me to the Dunkin Donuts on Bridge St. I love her and think of her as The Unsinkable Molly Brown (survivor of the Titanic) who's famous quote was “Sure I may be tuckered, and I may give out, but I won't give IN!�
She is a wonderful and hospitable human being and energy on this earth and it was my pleasure having known her. May the unshakable Moore family and decedents all be blessed.

Dear Auntie Debbie,
its been a long time that i've known you and its so tragic to see you go. i've been to most of your birthday parties in the past several years and they have made my day. to know that i was going to celebrate another year of your life was the best thing ever. Now that your gone this is a good time for me to think about the good times in the past. Me and my family are so sad to see you leave us but are glad you went in peace.

Auntie Debbie,
You were my friend and my confidant and despite how things looked you always made me feel it was going to be ok. I have been blessed to have you in my life and you treated me like I was one of your own from the 1st day I met you. I will never forget the night that the boys went out and I was the only 1 to make it home. I was scared to go home (LOL!) so I came to your house because I knew the back door would be open. I told you what happened and you put my mind at ease and told me everything was going to be alright. As I sit here with tears in my eyes I can say we lost a great person. WAIT!!! Let me retract that last statement nothing is lost when you know where it is...Sleep on Aunt Debbie! Sleep on!!!

To the Moore family,
It pains me deeply to hear of the loss of Debbie, Out of all the girls, she remind me the most of her mother Velma.
The last time I saw her was at a party for Michael. Such a happy girl.
Growing up in the same neighbohood, The whole family became a part of mine.
I want the family to know that I can't be there during these trying times,
But I am with you in spirit.
Stay strong Family and may God show you the way.
I send my love.

I have been trying to make sense of this every since I received that fateful call on Saturday October 16th at 10:19 AM. From day one my Sister In Law Debbie Moore embraced me as part of the family. Debbie always did her own thing and was considered to be very boisterous, yet pretty much drama free. The one thing that you could be sure of is that if some one so much as looked at you sideways, and your name had Moore attached to it, you had a well whooped but! She was the type of person that would do anything for you, and give you the shirt off her back. I have know as many others did that she was sick, but she was such that I thought she would beat the odds. With all that the Moore family has endured, and against all odds, they still remain united and stand strong. May God grant them yet again peace. I can only speak for myself when I say I love you Debbie Moore, and I will miss you...

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.

To my nieces and nephews, offspring of Willie Alvin Turner and Gertrude Jones Turner:
Although I will not be there physically with you at this time of sorrow, my spirit will always be there for you.
This is a very special time in our lives, one which neither of us will forget easily. It is a time that all the family can come together with love and compassion for one another. I believe Debbie would want it that way, just from reading the other online obits.
May God continue to bless and enrich this family as He has done for generations. Keep in touch with your relatives in Louisiana.
Love Always,
