Goodbye, Deborah. I loved you very much.
Debbie was a joy to be around. I know her family will miss her dearly. I also know her family loved her dearly as I did. Life changes so fast but Debbie will always be in our lives and mind God has gain an Angel.
I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life ,I love you sissy ,I love you so much
I never met her but she was family! Samantha is my best friend and I feel that through stories and conversations she was just as important to me as Sam is. My heart goes out to her family and friends. She was such a beautiful and loving person!
I love you
I will never forget your beautiful smile and your laughter. Rest in peace Debbie. We will see you again one day!
Debbie, I miss you already! You were an inspiration to me to never give up the fight. I know all questions you had have been answered in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus. Until we see you again! Love you, Stacey
Debbie, I am so glad to have known you. You were such a good friend and a caring person to all. Thanks to you and the many talks we had, I will always remember those seemingly insignificant moments that I tucked back to cherish and hold on to. Those moments and memories will always bring a smile to my lips and warmth to my heart. All those “couple Saturdays” and communicating with no words but looks instead when we were so busy that’s all we could do to make it through the lunch rush, the Christmas bell jingle gone wrong.. all those times when we laughed and the times we cried too…they were special and you always knew just what to say. You will be missed so much. See you again one day my friend.
