I am so sorry to learn of this news. I met Debbie the summer of 1969 at BGSU. She was beautiful inside and out! I have thought about her often through the years. Debbie and I had long talks together, and she spoke frequently about her boyfriend, Allen. So glad to hear she was happily married and a mom. Debbie was one of those rare people who could make a difference in a short time. So sorry I did not get to see her again. My sympathy to her family and friends. Heaven's gain...

Allen:

Please know that my most heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.

Dear Allen, Abby, Ryan,

I never got to meet Debbie but my mom, Judy Horn, always had such wonderful things to say about all of you as well as wonderful memories of Debbie. Debbie will be missed but she left everyone who knew her with great memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Allen, Abbey, and Ryan,
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. It came as such a shock to Mindy and myself.  Debbie was such a wonderful wife, mother, and friend to so many people. Words cannot express our heartfelt sympathy.  You are truly in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  God Bless all of you.

Dear Allen, Abbey and Ryan - I am so sorry to hear of Debbie's passing.  I know it has been a while since we have seen each other, but right now the wonderful memories do not seem so distant.  I have thought of that time in our lives often and you hold a special place in my heart.  Hold on to the good memories and love you have.  My thoughts, prayers and love are with you all.

Dear Dr. Carnes, Ryan, and Abby

I was crushed to hear the news.  Mrs. Carnes was a blessing to us all. A remarkable mother devoted to her children. Passionate about life and adventure. She was a kindhearted and generous person.  I was a target of her kindness and generosity, and for that I am thankful.  She is and always will be the embodiment of love and understanding. I am at a loss of words, there is nothing for me to say that will make your loss easier.  

I would like to express my deepest sympathy for you at this time.  

My condolences,

Dear Allen,
Was sorry to learn of your loss of your wife. I am in Florida, so am 
Sending prayers for you and your family.

I was heartbroken to hear of Debbie's passing. She was my college roommate when she attended BGSU. She was also a bridesmaid in my wedding. We had lost touch over the years and just reconnected by phone in the past six weeks. I was just devastated to then suddenly hear she was gone.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you Allen, Abby, and Ryan.  She was certainly a wonderful person and a ray of sunshine in everyone's life.  She will be missed by so many.
My heartfelt sympathy to you all.

I was so sorry to hear about Debbie. She was a great person to do fundraising work with when I was on the ALS board. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

My dearest "Debrina Debrouski "Leggett Carnes,
There are no words to describe our heavy hearts when I know what you would want is for us to be joyful, laugh and celebrate your life.... A celebration well deserved because you lived a life that added so much to this world with your thoughtful ways and energy and love for all people and creatures.  You will be missed every day and we will cherish the love and wonderful, fun memories of you.  Thanks for all the overnights from middle school on, for being one of my first  roommates, for late night chats about everything, for the meals, flowers, fresh veggies and sitting by my side when I was ill, for walks in the park with our dogs, for ALL the laughs and, Deb, until we meet again, May God Hold You in the Palm of His Hand, my beautiful, loving, Irish friend!

 “As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.”  ~ Mitch Albom

Our Upper Arlington High School Class of 1969 will miss Debbie! She was a delightful, beautiful, fun and happy girl who worked for several years on class reunions and cared deeply for her friends and classmates. When I think of her, I see that brilliant smile and laughing eyes, and that's how I will always remember her. She was a dear person, gone too soon.

We were saddened to hear that Debbie had passed away.  She was a  loving mother and wife,   she added laughter to every function she attended.  She was devoted to her family and friends and they knew she could be counted on to make them smile during hard times.  Her laughter and smile will live on in our memories.
Your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Tom and Leigh Beal

Oh dear sister of mine, you will be so missed..jsk

We are so very sorry to hear this sad news. We have been neighbors since 1998. Debbie always put others first. We love you all.

Debbie and Allen were so generous to my daughter by hosting her Rehersal Dinner in their backyard! It rained monstrous drops. But even with the yard turning into slushy mesh, we all huddled together in 
tent and eventually made a muddy run for the house. Debbie never let us be anything but festive and happy. She was a sweetheart and will be so missed. Marli Hessler Bills
