Lee introduced Debbie to Steve and myself so long ago, I can barely remember. Steve was in the wedding. Debbie was such fun, and never hesitated to speak her mind. I visited them in Chino in 1994, and cherish how they were dog lovers.
I met Deb during the summer of 1987 while we were in the same Psychology course at Chaffey College. Deb was so funny, warm, and easy to be around, we became fast friends. She invited me to attend her friend's birthday party and I later found out she was secretly playing matchmaker as she introduced me to Lee's friend and former co-worker, Paul. She was a good judge of character and it was love at first sight. Deb was my matron of honor and Lee was Paul's best man. We celebrated with them when Alex and Kyra joined their family, cried with them when Deb lost her dad, and at the loss of their fur babies. They walked beside us in our struggle to have a child, and rejoiced when we succeeded. A lifetime of friendship, and we will miss her dearly.
Sending condolences from Michigan. We are so so sorry for your loss. It was so nice seeing Debbie at Aunt Helen’s funeral a few years back.
We were able to catch up and laugh about our memories from the family reunions way back when.

Ginny, I am so sorry to hear of your daughter's passing. She is gone too soon. May family memories of good times with her sustain you in your grief. Prayers and hugs, Betty Kacirek/Cuyahoga County Library-Brecksville.
My beloved sister Debbie. My favorite memories are when you moved back from California. I watched your kids in the summer. You'd come to pick them up and we'd grill out dinner and swim in the pool. We were not only sisters, we were friends. I will always cherish that summer. I love you. Soar with the angels.❤️
I am saddened by your passing Debbie, I know you had a lot to deal with in this lifetime and deserve the rest. RIP and enjoy your reunion with your dad and everyone else who have gone before you!
I remember the family reunions we always had growing up, Christmas parties at your mom and dad’s house, the swimming get together at your house when our children were young. RIP Debbie ❤️ Love, Kathy McLaughlin
