Thank you for all of those cherished memories. I pray your family finds joy in times of sorrow by reminiscing those memorable and most fond moments you shared with them as well.

Keeping in touch with Debbie via messenger over the years, her strong faith and positive outlook stood out as one of the strongest I had seen! Truly one of the sweetest and kindest girls in the class of 1977! I take solace in knowing her best friend Debbie O was there to greet her with open arms when she entered Heaven! They are both no longer suffering and together with Jesus in Heaven!

I knew her from childhood to babysitting my first born then helping me take care of my hospice mother. I hope they’re celebrating and dancing in heaven. She had a heart of gold. My thoughts and prayers for her family.
