Don and the Lowman family,

Please know my prayers are with you. Debbie was a wonderful person who always lived her faith and showered that on everyone she met - in the way she treated them. I was blessed to work with her on a few occassions and always looked forward to seeing her. She will be missed, but not forgotten. All I can think is that heaven must have needed another angel. Now she is in the hands of our LORD and in a perfect place.

Dear Anderson family - I went to high school with Debbie & have many happy memories of her. She looks as happy and bubbly in her picture as I remember. So glad she was so close to Jesus and brought that joy to her family. I can't wait to see her in heaven.

April 7, 2011

Our deepest sympathy & love to all of you who knew and loved Debbie. She had a bubbly personality and was a wonderful example of Jesus love. We'll reunite again one day.

Don, Jenn, Kurt, and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Deb's passing. I went to school with her. She was always full of life and so much fun to be around. God only picks the best angels to come to him. She is no longer feeling any pain. I know it is so hard to let some one go. I wish I had more comforting words for the family. Your all in my prayers. R.I.P Deb you will be missed dearly but never forgotten.

April 7, 2011

Don, Jenn and the dear Anderson family. Remembering the joy and laughter that Deb bought to every occassion still warms my heart when I think of her 30 years later. Truly the Angels are rejoicing as she enters heavens gate. Her blog is inspiring and helpful to others who traveled this similiar journey. Our prayers will be with all of you in the days and weeks ahead.

I went to grade school with Debbie and have fun memories of our childhood. Debbie now gets to see Jesus face to face. I can't think of anything more wonderful.:)

Don, Jenn, Kurt, and family, I keep seeing Deb's face in my mind. There was never a time, ever, even in her last days, that I saw her without a smile. When I see her face in my mind, for a split second, my heart sinks knowing that I will not see her smile again until we meet in heaven. Then I remember that our lifetime is no time in God's eyes. When we all meet again in heaven, it will be so worth the wait. So, while Pete and I cry daily for you, we also rejoice in the fact that Deb is in a more bright, peaceful, and pain free place. We love you! Kim, Pete, and Jesse

Don, Jenn, Kurt, and family, I keep seeing Deb's face in my mind. There was never a time, ever, even in the end, that I saw her without a smile on her face. Then, for a split second, my heart sinks knowing that I will not see that smile again until we meet in heaven. We all know that the wait will be so worth it. It's hard to remember that our life time is no time to God. We will all meet again and be together forever! While we cry for you daily, Pete and I also rejoice with you knowing that Deb is in a better, brighter, pain free place. We love you!-Kim, Pete and Jesse.

Sincere and deepest sympathy to the family of Debbie Lowman-Anderson. I have some great childhood memories! Sleepovers, making marzipan, and that cool classroom in the basement. And can't forget the trampoline! What fun! Debbie will truly be missed by all! Lori Kriechbaum-McGuire

To the Lowman family, Very sorry for your loss. I remember Debra from many years of sharing a bus ride to school. I graduated from Auburn in 1976, but always likes Debra and Scott! I even looked for them both recently on Facebook.

Dear Don, Jenn & Kurt & girls,
Missing her? Oh my goodness yes, all the while knowing she is safe in the arms of our Heavenly Father, in a perfect and pain free body.

Dear Don, Jenn and Kurt,
I am so sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy.
What a wonderful legacy Debbie leaves behind in all those that knew her.
There is a saying that goes something like this,
"One Day, We Will Run Out of Someday".
I am now reminded of the plans Debbie and I made to get together over the past year. Neither of us realized that with every passing day, we were running low on "Someday". We think the gift of time will always be ours.
I loved her insight and the fact that she was so willing to share her recipes and experiences. Debbie, I'll miss you. You were always a Bright RAY OF LIGHT. May the memory of you bring back smiles the same way you gave them freely.
