We love you and will miss you deeply. Thank you for loving us as part of your family and for being such a wonderful person, mom and friend to me and an amazing grandmother and friend to Shyanne. We are truly blessed to have had you in our lives. You are proof that God only takes the best.

Dear Debbie,
I couldn't believe it when I heard
you were gone. I know you would be so worried about who would take care of Steve. You were such a humble, selfless, God fearing woman. You will be greatly missed by so many of us.
Love, Susan
