Deb was such a beautiful soul. I loved her and our long talks. She was always there when I had a bad day and needed to vent. She loved her dog sassy so much. I pray for her family in this hard time. Love you all.
I’m sorry for your loss. Death is never an easy thing to deal with but when it’s the loss of your mother it hits a lot deeper. My thoughts and prayers are with debs children,grandchildren and Bob. My heart breaks knowing the pain you all are feeling. I’m here if you need anything please call
