May Debra’s memory be a blessing to all those who knew her. May the Omnipresent comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and you shall mourn no more.
I was so looking forward to getting to know Debbie better. She held a special seat in our Bible study group of 6. So sorry for the many family members and friends who will miss her so much. We will reunite someday.
I’m so sorry for the loss of Aunt Debbie. My heart is with all of you during this difficult time. She will always be remembered for the love and memories she shared with our family.
The Bible reminds us in Psalm 34:18:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the life of Debbie and the love she gave to those around her. Please bring comfort and peace to our family as we grieve. Wrap Your arms around everyone who is hurting and remind us that Your presence is near in times of sorrow. Give us strength, hope, and the promise of eternal life through You. Amen.
Sending love and prayers to our whole family.
You will be missed. You are now one of Gods angels. May the love of God surround your family with his presence and love, during this hard time.
As a neighbor of Debbie, I appreciated her sweet nature and willingness to share good recipes. I was upset I missed her birthday just before her surgery. God Bless you, Deb, the earthly ties and woes of this world have no claim on you now.
My dear Debbie … I only knew you for a short time at the Wholehearted Women’s Bible study on the book of Ephesians but I am blessed to have had that time together with you and for you to have shared some of the sadness and blessings in your life. You were a very special person. I am sure that God welcomed you to heaven with open arms.
We will meet again in a better world.
Debbie,
I will miss our meetings outside & chats exspecially when the weather was nice. I appreciate you & Alan as my neighbor directly across the street for many years. I will miss you my friend. RIP
Alan, So sorry for your loss of Debbie. I was not aware of her passing until 3-12-2026. Rosa Medina
We were deeply saddened to hear of your mother’s passing. She raised someone we are proud to know, and that speaks volumes about the kind of woman she was.
Please know you are in our thoughts during this difficult time. Grief has no timeline, we’re here for you, not just today, but in the days and weeks ahead.
With love and sympathy,
Rob and MaryLou
