I am so saddened to hear of Debbie's passing. Several of us have tried so hard to locate her over the years, particularly this year as we celebrated our 40th class reunion. Debbie was a great friend and I wanted to reconnect with her so badly. I am very sorry for your loss.

It is a true loss when someone like Debbie is taken from family & friends. Whenever I think of Debbie I get a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. Her humor and wit was second to none. We are sorry for the loss but thankful for the memories. God bless.

I am so sorry to hear of Debbie's passing. I hope through the years she had heard us talking, laughing and smiling as we remembered many many good times with her. "Floyd Lloyd" we would call her..certainly a term of endearment. Please know she will never be forgotten. God Bless.
