Debbie was such a blessing to all who knew her! The world seems a little less bright without her. I will never forget her words and her wisdom, how much she loved her family, her kindness or the sound of her laughter. I am so grateful to have known Debbie and further grateful for her influence in my life. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with this amazing family. I agree with Charlotte when she says that heaven will never be the same. Each one of us is different, a little stronger, a little wiser because of Debbie.
All my love, Jill
 
 
 
I am so sorry for your loss.

Some of my most memorable childhood moments were spent with Debbie. I cherish those times and will always remember her loving, fun spirit.  She introduced me to  my first game of hop-scotch, we loved playing basketball and walking the streets of Byars, we both hated our training bras, but we both loved and often talked about our big, wonderful families.Debbie loved her family so much.We didn't see each other often after we become adults, but when we did it was usually when our sons were on opposing baseball teams during summer league. We both talked 90 mph to get caught up.She was a very proud mom. I loved seeing the "mother" side of her and am heartbroken that we never got to talk to each other about our grandbabies.  I'm so very sorry for your loss and our family has been praying for your family.
We all loved and will remember Debbie forever.

All those who knew Debbie will miss her greatly.. I first met her years ago when my mother took care of her boys Kyle and Korie in the daycare..It was always nice to see her smiling face and the love she had for her children. She was a wonderful mother and a wonderful person to know..My mother still speaks of her with such love.....she was always the one of the day care moms that always picked up her children as soon as she got off work cause she missed them so all day......We in our family send our deepest sympathies to the boys and lots of love and prayers.....Debbie was a blessing in our lives.......There is no doubt that heaven is brighter with her there now...and i am certain she is watching over her family she loved so much.......
