I would never have survived single parenthood without Debbie. She was a wonderful friend, like a sister. She always watched over Jason and Daniel when I was working. She was a great friend to me and would let me just “sound off” when I was stressed. Wayne and family, I know how much you love Debbie and it will be a difficult time right now, but you will keep her alive in your wonderful memories of her, and we will too! Lots of love, Carol, Jason & Daniel

To Wayne and family:
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Debbie’s passing. The last time we talked on facebook she was doing really well and she was happy. Having known Debbie for a lot of years she was a kind person and had a smile for everyone. She would do anything for anybody. I remember her and Wayne going to Karoke, she loved to sing. She has left behind some great memories and when you are saddened keep those memories close because they will help you heal. You never forget, you just learn to deal with it. Again we are so sorry to hear this news. God bless.
Joyce Whynot
i always remembered her on my anniversary as she was 2 years old when I was married and we celebrated her birthday too and I remember her sitting in her high-chair with a small chocolate cake her Mom had made for her and she was messing it all over her face. I know she is in a better place now and pain free. Love always Aunt Joyce xoxo

I met Debbie many years ago, when we were both in grade 4. We became fast friends and where there was Debbie, there was Dottie. Debbie was my best friend until my family moved to Dartmouth when I was in grade 6. Debbie was a fun person, with a beautiful smile. We had much fun together and I have always remembered her throughout the years. I am so sorry to hear of her passing.

As her son, I suffered right along with her spending every chance I could get visiting with her. I know how difficult it was for my mother and I am very sad she’s gone but relieved she’s no longer feeling pain anymore. She’s free and at peace. That woman was a remarkable person and I will always carry her in my heart. I will miss her so very much.
Nancy whynot
Bitter sweet is my feeling for the loss of my sister Debbie, I am so grateful that she is finally free from suffering physical and emotional pain but I am so heart broken that she is no longer with us and I will miss her sweet smile and loving ways.

As her daughter I can honestly say she was the best mom in the world. I miss her more then words can say. Me and her always used to have mother/daughter time…I’m gonna miss that the most. But I know she’s not suffering anymore. Its been almost a week and if anything having her not around hurts more as time goes on. She was amazing and I will always love her with every piece of my heart! Thank you all so much for the lovely condolences.
