Lifelong Friend
From the old neighborhood to the new and beyond, Deb and I were cherished friends who experienced so many good times, as well as some not-so-good. Thank you, Deb, for being the good influence on me when I needed it. (Lona, Leta and Bill would agree, I’m sure!) I will continue to miss you. May you rest in everlasting peace. (Joni)
Deepest Sympathy…
I wish I could be there in person to convey my most deepest sympathies to YOU Tim and your entire family. During our lasting friendship over the years I know Debbie fought the good fight and battled with you always by her side. Take comfort in knowing she’s in heaven watching over the family now.
May she rest in everlasting peace, AMEN
