To Debbie's family,
I was saddened to see this in the paper today. I knew Debbie probably a good 25 years ago. We were in the Mothers of Multiples club together in Newton and I enjoyed her company so much, I recognized her name immediately. You have my deepest condolences on your loss. Know that she and all of you will be in my prayers. God Bless, Donna Mappa

To the Plotts and Pridgen Families,
It was a privilege for me to care for Debbie in her final days. Opportunities such as this don't present themselves very often in life, and I am glad to have embraced it. It was an experience I will hold in my heart forever.
Love to all, Gayle

Dear Jimmy, James and Darryl,
We know that you lost the love of your life and we feel so badly that she was so young and had so much love to give. We were glad she got to spend time in Texas with her Grandchildren before she passed. I am sure she found Madison Marie and is now in Heaven with her. May she rest in peace and may you have the strength to carry on knowing she is now without pain.
