Debbi was my roommate at WMC after she had surgery. She really was a nice girl and made the time pass easily while we were there. I know she was going through a really hard time and I hope that the last few months she was here were happy and filled with joy. May God welcome her into his arms and comfort those she left with peace. I know she will be missed.
I enjoyed the many conversations that I had with Debbi at the o. She was a nice person and she will be missed. My thoughts and prays are with the family and friends of Debbi.
DEAR SHERRILOU & FAMILY MY THOUGHTS & PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TRAGIC TIME, REMEMBER THE GOOD THE GOOD TIMES WITH DEBBILOU. SHE IS AT PEACE NOW IN HEAVEN WITH YOUR MOM. MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU LOVE BERTHADEAN
Debbie and I were friends for 30 years both in and out of the mill and we always just truly liked each other.I went through a terrible time recently and even though she was so desperatly ill she always asked how I was when she ran into anyone that knew me. I have tons of stories I’ll treasure always and I’ll think of her with a smile on my face.
My deepest sympathy to Debbie’s family. I met her several years ago and unfortunately lost touch with her this last year. I recently found out she was ill and have thought about her many times. She was always pleasant and I enjoyed our conversations. May she be at peace.
