Debbie was a force in my life. She was a mentor, teacher, coach and big sister. Watching her decline with Alzheimers was heartbreaking. I am choosing to focus on all of the positive and good times we shared in life with our family and friends and I know she is whole again and with mom, dad, and all of her dog children.

We are so saddened that Debbie´s life took this turn. She was always so full of fun, and so good at so many things. Blessings to her sisters and their families. All of us cousins have missed keeping up with her. Tracy, thank you from our hearts for always letting us know how she was. Life will be different for you. Think of your favorite donut; picture how yummy it looks. Now: realize you didn´t picture the hole of the donut, only its wonderfulness. That´s Debbie...the goodness she had was what we need to picture when we think of her. Spread her joy. Love you all.
