Debbie you were one of the sweetest and dearest friends I have ever had. Life was always happy around you and I loved your sense of humor. We had some fun times in Odessa! Sometimes got in trouble with our spouses, but we didn't care! I will continue to think of you, Deb, with much love and fond memories. I will forever miss you!!!

Debbie was one of the sweetest and dearest friends I have ever had. I loved spending time with her and her family when we both lived in Odessa, TX. Even after we moved far from each other, I thought about her often with very fond memories. I always missed spending time with Debbie. Life was always happy around her and I loved her sense of humor. I love you Deb and will miss you very much!
