I am so very sorry to hear we have lost such a bright soul. Debbie and her mother were my neighbors here in Laramie. Breaks my heart we have lost both of these beautiful ladies. I will miss them both. Gina Chavez-Armijo
It was a pleasure to get to know Deb and to take care of her in dialysis before I moved. She was a beautiful person with a huge heart. RIP Deb.
Debbie - I will always remember the time we spent together, stomping around the city, looking for children's picture books to add to our respective collection, searching for the 'prettiest' Barbie (even though theoretically they all had the same face!) but mostly laughing and sharing stories with each other. Even today I was eating some mendiants and thought of you and how it was something you'd like because it was packaged so prettily. I will see you again but until then please watch over me. Love always, Yuki
Deb was a bright spot in my life. An amazing friend who loved others and always had a smile for them. Thank you, Greg, for bringing her into our lives. Lissa
