The things I remember most about meeting Debbie long ago in Springfield was her wonderful smile and joyous voice. I look forward to seeing her smile again one wonderful day. I pray for comfort, peace, and hope for Faith, Sarah, Savannah, Michal, Louis, and Debbie's mom.

The grace of God gifted me with Debbie's friendship and Love and many lessons and blessings.
To hear her sing grace at the table..the memory of her ethereal voice still just hums in my soul.
To watch Debbie claim victory over the difficulties of life, and still not harbor any ill will towards another living soul.
A couple of Sundays ago she and I went to Huguenot Beach and drove out on the wet sand. I believe that had we known that it would be our last 'girl time' together, we would not have said or done anything different. She fed those greedy seagulls all of 10 pound bag of hot dogs...one at a time,and held on to the hot dog till the last morsel was being eaten, what a visual seeing that huge swarm of birds being fed by Debbie's generosity and love with her sp[rit of adventure.
With an ache in my heart I hope to remember not only that she passed away, but that she Lived. My sincerest condolences to the family.Pat Booth

Debbie was a nurse who treated each patIent with respect, warmth and compassion. As a co-worker, I will miss her willingness to help whenever asked. As her friend, I will miss her smile, her laughter, and especially her singing.

Debbie was a wonderful friend to me. A best fiend. I was always impressed by the way her friends stayed in contact and loyal to her for decades. Such was her impact on people. She was a remarkable mother. Her children orbited around her. She passed on to them her love of life, her humor, and her instincts for adventure. This was our thirty-second year of marriage. How I wished for more. I will miss her.

I have known Debbie and her girls for years and I am going to miss her. She was a good friend and co-worker. Always made me smile. God Bless all that knew her and comfort her daughters in this time of sorrow.

It was an honor to have Debbie as my preceptor when I was a brand new nurse. She taught me so much; not just about nursing, but how to treat people. I'll always remember the day we were caring for a patient together, and the family mentioned that the patient loved Gospel music. Debbie just started singing an old Gospel tune, and it was so beautiful! I know she's tuning up with the angelic chorus.

Debbie was a delightful person. I really enjoyed our chats on 7N.

My Mother was a beautiful person, inside and out. The voice of an angel and a caring, loving spirit- tough love, sometimes, but LOVE was always at the heart of it. I'm going to miss calling her with my life issues and my own 'mommy' questions (G~d willing). I know she's our (mine and my sisters') guardian angel. I am blessed to be HER daughter. I intend to carry on her beautiy, courage and grace and pass those attributes on to my children. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Mom.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Templeman. She was such a sweet person, always with a smile on her face. She would often come into our shop to purchase jewelry items for her daughters (she always bragged about how wonderful they were) and always brightened our day. Our prayers are with her family and friends.

Miss Debbie was one of my nurse preceptors when I was in med/surg. She was a wonderful nurse and a very sweet lady. I learned so much in the short time that I was with her. She will truly be missed.

She made me want to become a better person. You and your family will be in our prayers. Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

In the few short months that I worked with Debbie, she showed me a lot of tricks and tips that only an experienced nurse would know. It was a pleasure to have known her and I will miss her outbreak in song :) Her family is in my prayers.

Debbie loved her family selflessly. She did not hesitate to open her home to me in my time of need. May her beautiful singing voice remain a joyful sound in our hearts.
