Sabrina, Shanice and Family, She was one of those people who leave a whole that cannot be filled. She was always a wonderful presence that would make one feel better just to see her face. We go back to high school track days and I am humbled to be a small part of her life. Truly sorry to hear of her passing, but know we will see her again!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We know that losing a Loved One is not easy and we never really prepare well for their departure. Stay grounded in faith and know that she is in his hands.
Your East Coast Family
Bryan, Keith, and MikeG

I have many memories of Deb and will miss her. She was always a very strong person and did her best to make a good life for herself and Shanice. Loved her smile and thought she was a beautiful lady. She has joined so many angels who have gone on before. Having a good time in heaven! God Bless

May you be comforted by God’s love, the company of family and friends and the multitude of wonderful memories as you go through the difficult days and months ahead.

I worked with Deborah for many years at PF. She was everyone’s friend and could always make you laugh when you were having a bad day. I’ve been gone from there for five years but would still see her every once in a while. She always had that beautiful smile, warm laugh and kind words for you.
I’m truly sorry to all of the family and pray that God will give you strength to get through your loss. No words will make it better, just know she had MANY friends and will be sorely missed.
The picture on here IS her – big, beautiful smile yet you can still see the gleam in her eyes that made her special and FUN! She was ornery yet caring at the same time. She and I talked a LOT about both of us having only one daughter and what a blessing AND a concern that was at the same time.
She’s no longer suffering, and though she was so young, God takes only the best. I’m truly lucky to have had her for my friend. May God be with everyone that will have to get used to her loss daily. My thoughts and prayers are with you all

Shanise, daughter of Deborah and Dot mother of Deborah and all sisters, brothers and host of nieces and nephews may God keep you all in perfect peace. I thought of one of my favorite songs recorded by Earth Wind & Fire to give tribute to my beautiful sister friend and family Keep Your Head To The Sky.
