Debbie always has been, and always will be, my hero. The courage she showed in all of her battles has been an inspiration to all who knew her. Her zest for life and her cajun attitude is just a small portion of what made her a special lady. She was my closest and dearest friend, and I look forward to seeing her again when we meet in heaven. I love all of you and I will keep you all in my prayers.
