To say that Debbie was exceptional and one-of-a-kind would be an understatement. Though my time with her was short, my memories of her will always be treasured.

My condolences to all the members of Debbie's family. I know she is missed tremendously.

To Chad & Whitney: We're very sorry that we never had the pleasure of meeting your lovely Mom. From knowing you, she was a wonderful and loving person. May she rest in peace.

It's so tough to lose a parent.

God bless you and your family and loved ones.

Let us know if there's anything at all we can do for you.

So very sorry for your loss, Chad!

Dear Debbie,
I'm sure by now you have seen all of our loved ones. I know for sure you are standing tall and whole, have walked the streets of gold, and sat at Jesus's feet.
Your sister's and brother were such a big part of my childhood and I have so many wonderful memories of those days. I treasure them and will hold them close to my heart. When I see you again I will let them go and you and I can make some new ones.
When you see Mom, Dad and Patty hug them for me.
I'll love you forever and like you for always,
your cousin,
Judy

Don and I have known Debbie since 1965 and she always had such a vibrant smile... Debbie, I know you have found my dad. Give him a hug from me. Will miss you, but not forever...Like Candy...a bit jealous that you are seeing your loved ones before we see our. Sing as much as you want, until we you again...and join you in singing.

Debbie have you stopped singing and dancing since you're arrival in heaven? After Jesus, family and friends welcomed you with open arms I'm sure you went straight to the choir room for your audition. Becky thinks you went to your mansion to rearrange the furniture. ~ I swear I saw you peeking over the edge of a cloud and smiling at me on my way home from saying my last goodbye "under the sun". ~ Before you were born I was the baby for over 4 yrs and told I was a bit jealous when you arrived. I have to say I'm now a bit jealous that you got to see Jesus and experience heaven before me. ~ Will think of you every time I have peanut butter and jelly or sing Jesus Love Me. ~ Please give everyone big hugs from me, esp Josie, Rachael, Shelly, grandmas and grandpas me. ~ Will miss you dearly until it's my turn. ~ Candy

Debbie was such a kind and lovely person. She was also very talented. I have a sweet memory of her coming to help me arrange my furniture in a new house. That was a fun day. She loved her children and grandchildren si much. She also had a strong faith in Jesus and I know she is at home with him now..happy and beautiful as she always was in life.
