    My heart is heavy for your loss. Debbie was a wonderful person and will be sadly missed. She was certainly a trooper and gave so many people hope with her will to struggle with this awful disease. My heart aches for you all to lose a wife, mother and a wonderful grandmother, but she will be with you always.

  9. Glenn, Terry, Donnie, Dennnie and Family,

    Marion and I are so very sorry that Debbie has passed on to Heaven. I will never forget our times together, particularly our week at Four Lakes in Scio the summer Mountain Dew came out and some of us were given promotional Hillbilly Hats! My Dad and Step-Mom loved Deb a whole lot and I am sorry I didn't get to know her better during her lifetime. The Caring Bridge posts were very moving and I was inspired both by her love and spunk, but by the tremendous support provided by her loving family and friends.

    God Bless All of you.
