Terry, I am so very sorry to hear about Debbie's passing. The four of us - Debbie, Lorraine, Cheryl and I - were so close when we all bowled together. I consider her one of my long-time close friends. I have been away from Reading for so long but I would have loved to have spent time with her again. She was such fun and could always make me laugh. My deepest sympathy to you.

Terry & Bob....While I only knew Debbie a short time I found her to be a beautiful lady, a courageous lady, a kind lady despite all her medical cncerns. This little phrase helped me when my husband passed away and I hope you, too, may find some comfort...."Say not in grief 'she is no more' but live in thankfulness that she was!" God Bless You

Terry & Dad,
I am so sad for the loss of Debbie :(
There are never enough words to explain how awful it must be to lose someone so dear to ones heart. I do hope that in time you may feel more the luck you have had to know each other rather then just missing her.
May Gods Love Comfort you both in the progress of moving forward with the life he has left you both with.
All our Love,
Linda, Eric, & Randy (Wurst/ McCoy)
