Debi was my best friend in high school; we used to carpool in my Pinto. We enjoyed hanging out outside of school also; she was a huge personality and will be missed. Prayers to all she left behind.

Deb,
I was so shocked to hear of your passing. You were such a soul. I remember the first time we met on 2001 at the Lakeview school then I had the privilage of caring for Joe and Amber at the Y. You and Bill raised 2 amazing children. My heart will remain with all 3 at this time. I’m glad you are finally at peace and not in pain. I will miss our chats when we bumped into each other, it seemed that happened a lot. You will be missed immensely!
