I recently found this guest book saved on our computer & wanted to submit a favorite photo of "Sis".
What can I say? It was a true blessing to have been her friend & a priveledge to be her sister-in-law. God bless and hear our prayers for Rick & their children, Briana, Brady & Brice and all of Debbie's extended family. We know and have the Hope of Jesus that we'll be with her again. What a legacy she has left for us to strive to follow and be found faithful and a true servant of God in this life as she will always be remembered for always acknowledging Him in all that she did, so He directed her life.
We love you!

My heart breaks for your tremendous loss daily. When I think of Debbie I think of her singing. Not just because of her beautiful voice, but what impressed me most was the love that radiated out of her when she sang. It was obvious that she loved the Lord and enjoyed letting people know that. Many of us search all our lives and never discover what Debbie just understood. She knew that everyday was a gift, not a guarantee and to cherish every moment. We were all very fortunate to have witnessed her faithful love for the Lord, her husband, her precious children, and all of her family and friends. I feel like Debbie taught me that it's not the amount of time we're here on earth it's what we do with our time while we are here. I will hold the family close in my thoughts and prayers.

Brother Rick,
First, my sincere and deepest sympathy to you and your children and Debbie's family. It was a shock when I learned of your wife's death. I have very good memories of a young married couple at Eastman Baptist Church. I remember how excited you both were when you were expecting your first child! I was able to keep up, somewhat, with your family from others at Eastman, when you left, but really had the priviledge of seeing you again many years later when you preached a revival @ First Baptist Church in Prague for my good friend Bro. Tim Emmons. Rick, while I do not know the circumstances of Debbies death, I do remember all of the times you comforted other families that I had the opportunity to serve them while working at the funeral home in Marietta. You were a great inspiration to so many, and I hope that now it is returned to you tenfold. I have told Bro. Tim, so many times, that I know ministers have the same struggles with things, just like all of us, yet you are always there for the "others" in their times of struggles and grief. All the words do not help at this time and I know this, but it is such a blessing to read the words about Debbie and the impact she had on so many people. You two ministerd together and that is so great. Please know that my heart is saddened by your loss, but know that my prayers and the prayers of so many others are with you and your family.

We are so sorry for your lose, and pray for you daily. We will miss Debbie deeply. She was a big insperation to us in her faith and her love for Jesus. We injoyed teaching 1st grad sunday school with her for the 2 years we did. We will miss her smiling face. We love you all.

Bro. Rick and Family,
My daughter, Jennifer Bickle, and her family attend your church and she informed me of your wife's death on Monday night. She was devastated and struggled to make sense of this tragedy. One thing I know for sure is true for the Christian: To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. What a blessed assurance. My home church, First Baptist in De Queen, Arkansas, is praying for you and your family, as are we. God bless you.

Rick and Family,
I was so shocked by the news of Debbie's going to be with Our Lord. I did have the pleasure of meeting her while I was student teaching this Spring at IME. She was a wonderful person and was great with the children. I also enjoyed visiting with her during the Progressive Dinner that we both attending the end of March. I found out Sunday morning during worship service at First Baptist of Choctaw. We are all praying for you and your children during this difficult time. Some day we will all get to see Debbie with her glowing smile sitting next to Jesus! What a joyful day that will be!
Bill & Sarah Dennis
June 7, 2005
Bro. Rick and family,
Bill and I knew you and Debbie for about two years before we moved here. During that time, we saw how special you all were. Debbie was the sweetest and always the happiest, lady who lived every moment for her Lord. She was beautiful with always having a big smile on her face, and always in a joyful mood. I will miss being able to call her and talk Mary Kay with her. But I'll bet when she stepped into Heaven, she first sought out our Lord and then I'm sure she went right straight to Heaven's choir. She will be missed but we will see her again. Our thoughts, prayers and our love are with you.

Even though I never got to meet Debbie, I would see her at the ball park. I would always think of how pretty she was and she was so nice to everyone. Our teams would play each other and their team (Storm) was always a pleasure to play. She was there cheering and encouraging her boys to play hard and have fun. I didn't know her, but I will miss seeing her at the games. You are truly blessed to have such great friends and family. Just by reading this guest book, you know how wonderful Debbie was. God Bless you.

We are still saddened to hear the news but gladdened to know exactly where Debbie is right now--in the presence of our Heavenly Father! It was a privilege for Jamie and I to attend the Celebration of Life Service and hear first-hand stories from her family. That must have been so difficult to get the words out but was so appreciated by those in attendance. As her director in Mary Kay, I was so honored to see her personal MK compact, lipstick and name badge displayed on the memories table as well to see pictures of her MK Grand Opening during the video of her life. She was true to the Mary Kay philosphy--GOD FIRST, FAMILY SECOND and CAREER THIRD. It has been a joy having her as a member of the Klassics Unit. God's timing is not ours, but we continue to trust in his perfect will and grace to cover our needs.
Blessings~~~

Bro Rick,
We were so shocked this morning to see Debbie's obituary in the Ft. Worth Star Telegram. We do not know the circumstances surrounding her death but we do know that you are really hurting so very much at this time.
Please know that you and your children are in our thoughts and prayers. I can remember Debbie always having a smile on her face each time we attended church services with my parents--Herman and Rosemary Highfill. I can also remember her having to come down from the choir and sit with one of your children at times as well!! Kids will be kids.
I know both of you were very special to Mother and Daddy and I thank you so very much for ministering to them during your pastorate at Heavener.
Please know that you all will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. God is good and is faithful to meet our every need. Find your strength and comfort in the Lord as I know you do each day.
In Christian love,
Paul and Helen (Highfill) Emert

Both Rick and Debbie are treasures of the Lord. I have appreciated your faithfulness to the Lord.

Rick, I'm praying for you during these days. As you know, there are no words that "explain" what's happened, per se. But may God's Word encourage you--"If we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's" (Romans 14:8). I love you, brother.

Our hearts have been so heavy since we learned of Debbie's homegoing. We rejoice that she is at home with her Lord, but saddened for your loss of her presence.

Dear Rick, Words cannot express how I along with my girls feel in your loss of Debbie. I can see her smiling as she entered heaven. But it doesn't seem fair when we need our loved ones here with us, and we plan to grow old with our mate. Debbie will always hold a special place in my heart with all the good times we shared while at Eastman, and the things she helped me through. My heart goes out to you and the children. If I or my family can do anything for you all please let us know. In His Love

Our family is so saddened by the loss of precious Debbie. Debbie was truly in love with the Lord and it showed in everything she did and every word she spoke or so beautifully sang.
Her love for children was unequaled and I know our children's lives were blessed richly to have shared her time and talents. She gave us all an example to follow in dealing with our own children and the children of others through love, sacrafice, patience and grace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and your extended family. Please let us know if we can do anything for you.
Bryce, we appreciate everything you bring to our Sunday School class. You are a blessing to us.

Dear Rick,
You and Debbie brought so much inspiration to our lives. She will always be a precious memory. I can't help but remember the struggles you had as a young married couple and so open to express them to help others. There were so much love between you two. The story of your first date and how you were so surprised that she excepted and you had your friend to take pictures when you were out for proof you really got to go out with her...I loved the story...Our prayers and love are with you and the children..Betty Jane..children

Rick,
It is so amazing for you to spend so much time with us at Tinker sharing God and his awesomeness with us. You shared about how difficult it was for Abraham to be a lone after Sarah died, but God was all sufficient for him and He is there in the midst of our trials. My favorite verse is ISAIAH 41:10; "Do not fear for I am with you, do not anxiously look about you for I am your God, I will strengten you and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Rick, I really hurt for you, and I am praying for you!

Ms. Debbie's infectious smile and sweet spirit will always be remembered. My son, Jared, was in her afternoon Pre-K class at IME - what a great loss for the school,teachers and students! Jared smiles when he speaks of her and I know she was special to him. She had such a loving way with children and we were blessed to have her influence in our child's life. She is someone I wish I had gotten to know better - I look forward to that one day in heaven! Our prayers are with your family that God will sustain you as only He can. Love in Christ, Linda Hall
