Dear Howard & family,
We are at a loss for words to describe how special Debbie was to all of us, and how so very sorry we are for your loss. Howard, when you come home, if there is anything at all that either of us can do, you know we will. We love you, and will continue to keep you in our prayers.

Howard and all of the Family, I am so sorry to learn if Debbie's death. At Katie's funeral, I remember just how beautiful she looked. May the presence of God and friends carry you through this sad time. Blessing and much love and affection, rebecca suitt walsh

Howard Jr.,
We have been following along through mom and dad. Debbie made the right choice to finish her journey with everyone close and near. Her wings carried her straight through peacefully and with the reassurance that all will be well with her new beginning.Take care.Love Buddy,Ammie, and Anna Kathryn Edmondson
