I remember hanging out at Debbie's always have so much fun I loved her very much I'm sorry passed away

Dear Cousin Debbie so many good memories when we were all young. Trips to the drive inn,  stories of the tornado that can straight down your street but left your house intact. I always had envy of you and your sisters beautiful thick hair. I wish you peace from your pain and suffering dear cousin. Much Love, Mary

Dear Debbie, we knew you since you were a little girl, with those long gangly legs and beautiful thick  & shinning hair. You were always sweet. The big sister to your siblings. Our Uncle Joe, your Father always so proud of  you. So many of us have fond memories of  many youthful years of picnics; Drive-ins and dashing about the yards and lakes. You too loved my Mother's cooking  and Grandma Mae & Aunt JoAnne's baking and fried chicken. Over the years we all got older and you would always call Jimmy  and sometimes me, to bring us back together again. So grateful to have spent time with you in these last years. You were always thoughtful and kind and ready to laugh and smile. Our trip to Des Moines for Jimmy's July 4th, 2019 birthday bash was a highlight for you and it was for us as well. That last night you decided to sleep outside under the blue velvet sky filled with sparking stars. Such a  simple pleasure, you resting in a comfortable lawn chair near the pool. It reminded you of camping with your parents. You told me you had wonderful dreams that night.  Debbie, you never asked for much and never complained as you suffered through much sickness and loss.  We miss you Cousin Debbie, yet we know you are restored and free of pain and full of JOY in Heaven with GOD & all those that went before you. Debbie, you were LOVED and now you reside in Eternal Love.  Cousin  Donna.

May you rest in peace now my beautiful cousin.  I have so many memories, as a child, coming to uncle Joe and aunt Patricia's house during the Summer!  We had so much fun!  You will be missed.  Run with God now Deb!  Much love
