Dear Tom, Jennifer and Erin
I have you in my thoughts. I will remember Debbie's smile, laugh and wicked sense of humor.
She was very courageous. I admire the "fight" that all of you showed.
I'm sure the scholarship fund will benefit some deserving students in the future and will extend the good she did in her life.

To Deb's family. Knowing Deb has been of the life's great pleasures. I always will think of her when I listen to one of our favorite artists "Patsy Cline". I have never know such a joyful, pleasant person to be around. I have never seen anyone fight the fight she fought with such a positive attitude. Deb and all of you will forever have a place in my heart.
