To Steven,Mary Ruth,Glenda&Haley, God be with you during these most difficult days. Your Wife,Your mom and I go back many years.I loved her then as I love her now. From 6th grade on I referred to Debbie as my best friend,& still do to this day. Months would pass with no communication between us,yet when we talked it was as though we'd spoken everyday. She loved her family more than life itself,always spoke of the love she carried for her husband and girls. She was a proud mother and wife. We are all so very blessed to have been a part of Debbie's life. I will miss her cards and calls,but now she lives on in my heart and in my memories. Someday Steven you will again be with your wife and the girls their Mother,and me my friend. You are all in my prayers daily. She will be watching over you from heaven and protecting you all with God by her side.
