Debbie was a classmate of mine from grammar school thru WHS. I was very saddened to read about her brain cancer recently on FB & am even more said to read that she didn't make it. My thoughts & prayers go out to her family. She was always such a sweet person. May she RIP.

I can only understand this by thinking God lent the world Deb to teach us how to live and to love. She was an angel on earth and he called her back to Heaven. She will be missed by many, many people. I pray that Steve and the kids find peace and strength in their memories of her.
