Nearly 8 months after Debbies passing and entering heaven - - I still want to write and say how she blessed my life with her enthusiastic Anchorette dancing, leadership and intertaining at Lakeland High School! I was just a fan in the stands enjoying all that LHS and she had to offer. We were Mom's together, cheering our kids on at the Bonnie Park Little League Baseball fields - rellishing in the moments. May God bless all of her family and friends with understanding and endless fond memories of the precious Debbie Hayes Lowe and with peace knowing that they will see her again in heaven.

My memories of Debbie "Florida!" Hayes from Kilgore days always include an infectious yet mischievous smile, a hearty laugh, extraordinary talent, but more importantly, a sweet spirit. Prayers continue for Garrison, Davis, Ronnie and all who are left to mourn this deep loss. May you feel God's grace and comfort surrounding you through the love and prayers of friends and family, and may the sweetest memories of your lives together sustain you in these difficult days and the days to come. With love and sympathy,

I came back to Jenny Craig a few months back after relocating to Florida and you were the first person who greeted me and got me started again. You made me feel so comfortable and my first impression was that that you were a very kind, sweet, caring person. I feel honored for having met you and my sympathy goes out to your family in this time of sorrow.

She was able to effortlessly make everyone else around her have a good time.The Righteous Brothers sang "That Heaven must have a Hell of a Band". Now they have added a star to their Dance Team....I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mom, and sister.
