Dear Charles.
I just recently heard from Sandi regarding Miss Debbie's passing. There are no words to express my sorrow or that could adequately comfort you.
You, Sandi and the family have my prayers, as modest as they may be and the knowledge that Miss Debbie is smiling down and redecorating heaven as I write this.
I will and have let those who knew and loved her in Palm Beach know the news.

Dear Cousins,
We are sorry we can not be there with you. Please accept our sympathy. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We will remember Debbie as she was as a little girl at our Grandparents farm in Missouri. Another visit that stands out to us is when Debbie was so thoughtful and brought all of the goodies down for her mother when she was in bed and so sick with cancer.
Hugs and kisses to all of you,
Marvin and Gertie

Dear Gaulding Family-I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you during this sad time. Debbie was always so nice and helpful to me. I will never forget her kindness and her forgiveness when I'd make mistakes on her shipments. The last time I saw her, she was very sincere in wishing me good luck and giving me a hug. To her children, if you didn't already know it, she was so proud of each of you, she glowed when she spoke of you. She will be truly missed.
