Dear Friend
You will be greatly missed. You were a very misunderstood (mid-judged) person. Not many people were in your inner circle and got to know the REAL Debbie. Funny, caring and full of love. Your adult life brought you great happiness. Your sons marriage, the birth of your grandchildren. You couldn’t wait to get to work on Monday to show everyone the pictures of your family you took over the weekend. You were so happy to find a brother after many years and have a relationship with him.
Families: I am very sorry for your loss. Remember she loves you all deeply. Thank you for sharing her with her work family.
GOD BLESS

Sorry for your loss. Its hard to see our loved ones pass when the journey that was shared, the good and bad times was with the bond of unity. Words can not be found sometimes to express the feelings that we all have during the difficult times. Hope all find peace in their hearts and cherish the memories of Deborah and share the experiences that you all had. May this sharing of experiences reflect the bond that was and always will be for our loved ones.

It’s been 2 weeks since you passed and it still doesn’t feel real. I still get the urge to call you. The boys are doing really good with handling it but they miss you terribly. We all do. I wish we had more time. I feel like when you got diagnosed it somehow helped our relationship. We both knew what the end result was going to be even though we didn’t want to believe it. I am so proud of you for the fight that you put up. We all are. Seeing how hard you fought and your desire to stay here for as long as possible has given us all the strength to go on. Even though you aren’t here physically, I know you’re here. The boys baseball season is starting very soon so be ready to watch them play! Please watch over us and be there when we need you. I miss you Mom and love you. The boys love you to the moon and back. ATLAS.
