I just found out of Debbie's passing yesterday. Was so sorry to hear of it. We worked together for years at FIA/DHS and a nicer , kinder person would anyone ever meet. Many laughs and many tears were had over the years. Lives get complicated and in the process sometimes people loose touch with one another. In touching base with another friend I was informed that we lost another. I don't think she's far away though. She's a guardian angel. May She Rest In Peace. My Condolences to Family and Friends.Cathy Saad

Dave, So sorry for the pain that you bear with your loss of a loved one.  Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family hoping to lessen your sorrow.

Dear Deb.  I loved you so much and am so saddened by your passing.  Your Mon and Dad meant so much to me and I will never forget the laughs we had when we all got together.  You gave me the best recipe (Strawberry Pretzel Salad) I ever had and I must have made it over 30 times for people that I loved.  Every time I made it I thought of you and will continue to do so.  Rest in Peace my dear girl. You will be missed.

We won't say goodbye dear friend, just aloha ----- till we meet again. The memories, good times and bad, are a part of our soul. Rest in peace and tell your mom to save us some caramel corn.

So very glad to have went with my Mom to visit her in the hospital a few weeks ago. She smiled and laughed with us. I have a lifetime of fun memories with Debbie as she and my Mom were very good friends for the past 35+ years. She was taken way too soon and she will be missed. RIP Debbie.

We are so blessed to have been a part of Debbie's family.  Such a beautiful, kind lady who will truly be missed.  We are thankful for the love and laughter she brought into David's life and for being the loving daughter that Aunt Pat never had.  We will fondly remember the Michigan tailgates.  Debbie was donned in her layers of maize and blue trying to keep warm no matter what the temperature was!  We will also cherish the memory of our trip to Arlington to the Michigan/Alabama game.  Our deepest sympathy,
Brian and Susan Sodergren, Shelbe and Scott Strodtman and Family, Brent and Melanie Sodergren and Family, and Stacy and Zac Lee

I will miss our friendship greatly. It has spanned a life time. My heart goes out to Dave and the rest of Deb's family. You will be remembered.

We send our deepest sympathy to Debbie's family.  She will be missed.  We enjoyed her company when she visited her sister, Pam in Florida.  Rest in peace dear lady.  Bobbi and Jay Friedman.

Deb and I worked together since 1989.  We were co-trainers for 18 years and spent lots of work hours together.  Besides being a loyal friend for all those years, she was such a dependable person.  You could always depend upon Deb, doing what she said she would do.  She was loved by so many people and she took the time to stay in touch.  A sincerely kind and sweet person.  I will miss her very much.   Linda Hayton (Westland, MI)

Dear, Dear Debbie,
I am so very sorry I am not able to tell you in person what a beautiful lady you are inside and out. You shared yourself with so many, raising our spirits, and sharing your lovely smile and wonderful heart.  We will miss you always. Please know you are in our hearts and minds forever.  Our sincere wishes with hugs to your whole family.   Sincerely, Bonnie Reno, Fellow Trainer.

Always a smile for everyone.  Debbie was always there, if someone, even a friend of a friend, needed some assistance or guidance.  She often helped several of my friends, and I know that God will not forget.  She is smiling down on us now.   I am so sorry for your loss, but happy for her peace, happiness, and the relief of all her suffering.. 

Her wonderful family is forever in my prayers.

For You light my lamp; the Lord my God illumines my darkness. -Psalm 18:28

Debbie will be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers, always.

Tom, Jan, Daniel & William

Debbie was a great friend of our family, and a big help to us in many ways.  She always had a smile when I was around her.  Dad and Mom considered her another daughter.  Our condolences to her family and especially to you, Dave.

Rich and Liz Dupuis

There are no words to lessen the sorrow, or ease the loss you feel, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Very saddened to hear the news of Debbie's passing. She will be so dearly missed by everyone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.  Ben, Flo & Marc Phillips

We initially met as co-workers and you became my friend.  Everyone who met you, liked you.  But those who knew you, loved you.  You were there when I met my husband to be and you were there when I married him.  You've been there in good times and bad times.  We've shared so many wonderful memories.  I love you dear friend and I will miss you.  I know you are now at peace and in God's care.
