I miss you more then you will ever know sissy. You became my mother in April 5, 1995. I never thought you would leave us so soon. Your laughter will be missed. I’m blessed to be your first friend and to have followed you around Bible School. Give Mom a kiss for me and thank you for being who you are. I love you!

I am so sorry to hear about Debbie’s passing.  We went to school together and to church together.  We ran into one another many times over the years.  My prayers are with each of her family members.  They were the light of her life.  All she talked about was her family!  RIP Debbie and God bless her family.

She was always a happy woman.  Loved her family and had many friends.  I myself included.  She will be missed by all who knew her.  Our favorite memory was going to Taco Bell.  We laughed more than we ate.  It’s going to be hard at first, but remember all the good times and celebrate her life.  Love, Charlie Ballantyne
