We were so saddened to hear of Debbie´s passing. We loved her smile and how she was so kind and welcoming to everyone. Debbie had such a kind spirit and was full of fun. I know how much Debbie and Jeff loved each other and the life they had build together . Keeping all in our thoughts and prayers.

I've always had fond memories of my Aunt Debbie and I'm saddened that she's passed before I've had the chance to introduce her to my wife - I'm sure they would have gotten on greatly. One time when I was in school, I lost a pair of Metallica tickets because of my bad grades so they were given to Aunt Deb. Looking back, I'm grateful that she got to use them - I hope she had an awesome time at that concert. Miss you Aunt Debbie.

Mrs. Deb was always smiling and happy as can be, she was the yin to bama´s yang as it seemed they completed each other. She will be greatly missed, until we see you again dancing around singing having a great time.

I will miss seeing Debbie on the back of a motorcycle, dancing and pointing out every farm animal she passed. She seemed always enjoy those long rides with great scenery, but not as much as she loved her husband. Love you Mrs. Debbie! See you on the other side.

The only woman that danced on the back of the motorcycle while going down the highway, she didn´t weigh enough to notice or even shake the motorcycle
Love that woman
