    Wayne and family: Sorry to read of your wife and mothers passing. God took another angle home. She was a good friend, mother and wife. We were friends all through school. She always made time to stop for a few minutes to talk. She is pain free. It is a hard time right but you will get through it with family by your side and keep the memories close.

    Deb and I were second cousins and I spent a lot of time at their house with Debbie and Sherri and we became friends as well as family as we grew older. I will always remember her giggle. I bet Uncle Max and Aunt Lois are happy to have her in their arms and pain free. Wishing all of Debbie’s family comfort and peace and strength during this time of sorrow. May your memories shine forever bright. With greatest sympathy.

She spent a lot of time at my parents house and with us when she was younger. I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you and give you the strength to get through the coming days. She was a lovely person and we all loved her. Sending deepest sympathy to all of you as you mourn her loss.
    Much love, Barbara and Ronnie.

    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.

    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.
