This is a complete surprise to my husband and I! Words can not express how her loss has affected us. She was a good person and she had a good soul! We express our sympathy for your loss! Even though I haven't seen her since high school, she will always hold a special place in my heart because she help my husband and I get together! My husband and I have been together for 22 years now, with many thanks to her!!! We had worked with her at McDonald's when we were in school. She went to Mahanoy Area High School and I went to Tamaqua Area High School. She was a good friend and co-worker! She will be missed by many!

Watch thou, dear Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give thine angels charge over those who sleep. Tend thy sick ones. Bless thy dying ones. Soothe thy suffering ones. Pity thine afflicted ones. Shield thy joyous ones. And all, for thy love's sake. Amen. (Prayer Saint Augustine) Deb is at rest now . You are all a wonderful, caring loving family. Your neighbors, Kathy and Bill Risley

My deepest sympathy goes out to Debbie's family. She was such an amazing person inside and out who touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed. Selfishly I wanted her to stay but know that she is in a much better place right now free of her pain. The love and support your family had for each other during this difficult time was remarkable to watch. Remember she is always going to be there for each and everyone of you watching down protecting you just like a guardian angel should do. God bless you all and take care.
