    Chris, Deb had such a zest for life, and she made the most of what she had. Never without a smile, a smart crack when one was needed, and even when it wasn’t, and never a time that I heard her bemoaning her short straw in life with her health problems. What an example for her children. You have every right to be proud of her,, she deserves that, and she fought hard for that right!! Life will never be as it was before, for you, and that is going to be the hardest part of losing Debbie. It is going to take time and a lot of memories to get you all through this. I think the kind memories that everyone is posting of Deb is such a wonderful tribute to the special, personable caring and loving woman that she was. My thoughts are with you, her sons, and your family, everyone there has lost a very special part of their lives… Hugs Chris

    Debbie was a ray of sunshine and laughter even through her pain. We shared many laughs and tears. A friend that stood by my side always and someone that I could call when I needed help. She embraced her life and relationship with Jesus in so many ways. She was definetly someone that stood up in the midst of the storm. God has turned your mourning into dancing. Some people may have thought she was abrasive but iron sharpens iron. I love you so much my dear friend and will keep an eye on your beloved husband Chris. Until we see each other in heaven I hold you in my heart. Love JBob.
