I was saddened today to learn of Debbie's death. I am not sad for Debbie, as she is home with those she loved; Jesus, Red, Hellen, and Kitten. I am sad for all of us that were touched by Debbie's big,sensitive,wildly adventerous heart!Debbie was my idol at Guys and Dolls, my mentor and spiritual help at Godfrey's and my biggest cheerleader to my career with HairCuttery. I hope the Kite family has comfort knowing Debbie is home.

My heart was saddened to hear the news of Debbie's passing. Although I had not seen her in a long time, the memories of our high school years are always with me. She was a friend with a big heart. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. May you find comfort and peace in your heart and may the memories sustain you in the days ahead. God Bless.

Words alone can never express our heartfelt sympathy hearing of Debbie's passing....my high school years(Colonial High School-1970) have always been some of my fondess memories....and Debbie was a big part of those years...her spirit and spunk kept everyone upbeat.... I can still hear her cheer.."Ready-O?...Let's Go!", she always kept us laughing...she will remain lovingly in our thoughts and prayers, as will those who love her still.

May God Bless & Keep Her In His Loving Arms Forevermore!

Mrs. Lunsford,



I am so sorry for the losses you have had in the past year. Words cannot express how much sorrow I have for you.

My heart is so heavy of this news...I remember so many memories in High School with Debbie and I and just am so thankful that I knew her. The biggest blessing for me was her calling me in December and asking me to come over and visit. We shared for several hours about each of our lives and just picked up where we left off many years ago.

Debbie was a spit fire and I loved that so much about her....She was also one of the sweetest, most loving friend to many.

She will be truly missed and a piece of my heart is breaking right now.

To Terry, Albert, Buddy and Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you..I know this has been a lot in a very short time for each of you.

Don and I are always here for any of you.

I am such a very blessed man for being able to have known Debbie as I did. My words can not adequately express the sorrow I have for your family at this time of loss. I pray that our heavenly Father grant you with a special measure of peace that only He can give which passes all understanding. My sincerest regards,
