Debbie left a lasting impression on every one she came in contact with. She had that “spice of life” attitude. Debbie truly and whole heartedly loved her family and friends, and she loved them hard. She will be missed tremendously, but ALWAYS remembered!
“And this is the way to have eternal life - by knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth! I brought glory to you here on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” John 17: 3-5
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Rev 21:4
