Randy, it is with a heavy heart I send this message my friend! I know our Heavenly Father is holding Debbies hand and comforting her as she walks into the New Kingdom where there is no pain or sorrow.
Now I ask for JESUS to hold you and comfort you with the knowledge, HE will never leave you and HE loves you deeply!

Randy ~ I was so surprised and saddened to hear your news… I have thought of you guys often – I loved visiting with you. Such a perfect couple! Debbie was always laughing – as in her beautiful photo – and concerned with those around her. She had a way of making everyone feel special and was soooo giving of herself.

Oh Randy, I can’t stop crying. I’m so sorry for all of us . My best friend and neighbor for 4yrs in KC. She filled that void of being away from my family with her joy and love. I still have the swimming suit she gave Nancy when she was born. We were soul mates. She knew me so well and still loved me. I look in every room and I see antiques from our trips and there is Deb Deb. She will ALWAYS be part of my life.
