Jeff, Julia & JC, Ellen and I offer our deepest sympathies for you on the loss of your wife and mom. We pray that God will give you strength and courage in these difficult times, and that He would hold you in His loving arms.

Deb, God has given you a new body in Heaven.  Watch over our children and grandchildren. I will always remember the good times we shared.
Love Jeff

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. We're sending you a hug from afar.

I've known Deb since 6th grade and we became friends immediately! Miles had kept us seperated; but not our hearts. I will miss her tremendously. To her family... my deepest sympathy and will keep you in my prayers.

Lindsay,  I am so sorry you are having to go thru this.  I know how much you cared for your mother-in-law.  You were blessed to have her, she was blessed to have you. We are all thinking of you.

Sis,
The Heavens must have needed someone special and oh what a choice they made. You showed so much strength and courage. You are a hero to all. I know that when I am watching the Yankees play this year you and mom will be there giving new meaning to Angels in the outfield. I will miss you my sis and know you will always be in my heart.
Love,Rob

PS. See what you and mom can do about those Yanks, they are going to need some divine intervention this year.

Dear Debbie - "A wonderful daughter-in-law" who loved her husband Jeff, and her children Julia, Jeff, and Lindsay. She adored her grandchildren Cole and baby Holland. She was so brave and strong and is an example for all of us.
Love, Lori

Dear Deb,
  Your life was lived with
grace, gratitude and above all, with Love.  It continues
still.
       Love,
       Aunt Ann

To Jeff and family my husband, Everett
and I sent our symphathy and prayers.
I am a cousin to your mother. Sincerely
Betty Rapp Vail

Debbie - So many memories of family gatherings filled with happiness, laughter, and good times. While you've left us much too soon, you can now rest without any more pain. You'll always be in our thoughts and prayers, love

I feel so very blessed to have had the opportunity to spend some glorious occasions with Debbie from the marriage of Jeff and Lindsay to the births of her grandchildren. Her strength, courage, and love of life were an inspiration to me, and I will never forget her.  Please know that my love, thoughts, and prayers are with you all.

Debbie, you welcomed me into the family with the open heart of a great friend. I think you were just grateful for another female in that family of crazy Flynn boys! You will be remembered with great love. Dance with the angels, Deb.

Jeff, Julia and JC, my heart goes out to your loss. Just know how much we all loved her and what a wonderful person she was to everyone. I will miss our conversations and I will cherish all the memories from Oxford court. She really was the bravest woman I knew. 
Debbie until we all met again. I will expect that crab dip and Asti when I get there.

Deb you will be missed everyday! Hope you have some peace, now that the pain is gone. Have only fun and fond memories.

From the earliest days in upstate NY, I have always cherished your company. Rest now, the pain has gone.

I agree with Sue! To experience just a moment of that joy would keep us going for a lifetime. 
You will be tremendously missed as there is no replacement for you. You were the best mother in law and grandma anyone could want. We love you very much and will think about you everyday. Watch over us all from heaven dear Deb!
