I was lucky enough to get to know Debbie for just a short time but learned quickly that she was a very classy lady and is still missed. It´s been 10 years but seems like it was just yesterday that she passed to a better world

Debbie was one of a kind. Her laugh, her smile, and her way of always being there for the people she cared about (which was everyone she knew). No matter how much pain she was in, she made it a point to make sure you had what you needed and was alright. I know Gene has been waiting a long time for her. May they both rest in peace.

Debbie was such a great friend to my grandma and myself. She has fought a good fight and she is near and dear to our family. May she rest in peace in no more pain. We will miss you. Her family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Debbie had such a sweet and giving spirit and we were blessed to have her as long as we did. I can't help but think that Debbie is smiling today, holding hands and dancing in heaven with Gene.
