A year since you have been gone? Seems longer.  I miss you very much...and always will.  Joanie

Dan, Daniel, Davis,
All of you are in my thoughts everyday and my prayers. I came across some pictures yesterday at Montreat and brought back so many memories and the fun we had. I will never forget Debbie as she was just the most wonderful person and her smile was beautiful.
Love to all of you
Jane Selman

Debbie: I think of you almost every day. You were the most incredible person I've ever known. I loved you so much. You were the most compassionate and caring friend and co-worker. I am better for having known you, and so fortunate that you were in my life for so long. Your love and spirit will never leave me, and I can only hope to one day see you again. Love, Greg

I miss saying good morning and telling you good night! I miss seeing you everyday. You would be so proud of dad and Davis. They have been so incredibly strong. I love you so much mom.

I met Debbie several years ago when I was doing educational outreach to people with Medicare. She was a kind, wonderful person. I did not learn of her passing until I saw the commercial about breast cancer license plates. I was deeply saddened. When I read her obituary, I learned that we were both members of Alpha Omicron Pi and never knew it. I would have been proud to have called her sister in person. I hope to see her someday in heaven. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

Dan , just found out about Debbie. We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you, Daniel and Davis.

I was so sorry to hear about this Debbie was such an angel with such a sweet spirit I will truly miss her.  Prayers and much love to Dan and Daniel and Davis.

Dan and family

I will never forget Debbie's kindness and beautiful smile.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The world is going to miss such a beautiful woman who had such a wonderful spirit! Prayers for the family.

We are saddened at hearing of Debbie's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dan and Boys,
May God's blessings flow through you all during these dark days. Our love and prayers are with you.

I had the good fortune of knowing Debbie for almost 4 decades and I never heard her say a negative thing about anyone or really even get upset....well maybe a couple of times when I brought Dan home really late or tracked mud into there 1st home at Montreat.  

The Cox family is the genuine article and set a very high bar for other families to emulate.

Her smiling, sweet face will be missed and everyone who had the opportunity to know her has loss a piece of something very special.

Dan and Debbie did a great job with Daniel who is a terrific mentor for Davis, also already on his way to being super young man that always make a difference each time they walk into a crowded room. Dan should be very proud.

I'll miss her and her hugs in the kitchen during a ball game and am convinced she has now joined other special souls that impacted everyone around them in a loving, positve, supportive way.

I knew Debbie from our days in Alpha Omicron Pi at Alabama.  A sweet and happy young woman then.  My prayers and thoughts go out to her family.  May God give you peace.  Joy Lewis Rhea

Dan,Daniel,Davis, It was an honor to work with Debbie and be her friend. Knowing her made me a better person and a better nurse. She supported me in bad times and celebrated the good times with me. Her memory will always be with me.

We will miss you Debbie! We have been business associates for a long time, and there are not many out there like you~thank you for your loyalty and honesty and true love of people. You were a great lady and a great example. Our prayers will go up for your family.

Praying for you guys during this painful loss!

Dan, Daniel, Davis and extended family, Debbie and I worked together for several years until I moved out of state. She was a wonderful, compassionate nurse and I know an even greater wife and mom. Daniel and Davis, she was SO proud of you both and your achievements. How fitting to have the baseball team honored as pallbearers! You all have been through an incredibly difficult journey. Debbie is now pain free and at peace with her Heavenly Father. May the Lord give each of you comfort, strength and peace in the days and weeks ahead.

I will miss you Aunt Debbie. I hurt knowing you're not here anymore. You'll be forever loved and missed, but I will see you again.

Debbie was such a sweet and giving soul. I am so glad I had the opportunity to call her my friend. She will be missed so much

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Our deepest condolences to the family. We will continue to pray for you all during your time of loss.

I am blessed to have known Debbie.  She gave me a job with Hospice and now it is my passion.  I love and miss you Debbie

As several of our classmates have noted, Debbie is fondly remembered by each person she touched. She made a real difference in people's lives, and that is such a blessed and rare gift. Debbie's family and friends are deeply saddened, but have the peace and assurance of knowing that she resides in the presence of her Lord today and forevermore. "There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some other shore, And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, They shine for ever more."
