Aunt Debbie gave me a bright red suede jacket when I was around 7 or 8 years old. It was the greatest thing in the world to me, not just because it was a really cool jacket, but because it came from her. She was the nicest and most generous woman. I was so happy to see her in Colorado a little while back. We will all miss her and her sweet heart.

Dear Jack, Keith and Jay,
Our hearts are with you and your families during this time of great loss. We feel so fortunate that we were able to meet and get to know Debbie a little. She was instantly warm and easy to be with. She always made us feel comfortable and welcome. This is a beautiful way to honor her life and the permanent imprint she has left this world with. 
Much love to you,
Jim and Jody Kaiser

I don't know what I can say about Debbie that hasn't already been said by those who knew her longer and better than I did. But I think everybody needs someone like Debbie in their lives, who can brighten their day just by being around or having a 2 minute conversation. I guess that's what makes it so much harder to lose her.

I loved to make her laugh, which was pretty easy to do. Even though I didn't see her much outside of the office, I felt like we had special bond, like we just understood each other as if I'd known her for years and years. That is one of the greatest things about her, I bet she made a lot of people feel that way, and that's pretty unique.

My heart aches for Jack and the rest of the family, but glad they had Debbie in their lives at all, she was a blessing.

Rest in Peace Debbie

Debbie, I can not believe you are no longer here. You had such a positive outlook and you wanted to be here for Jack and your family, but the man upstairs had other plans for you. Now, I believe in my heart of hearts, you have grown your wings and you have a new healthy body. Heaven has a special place for you and you're probably riding your horse in the mountains, like Colorado. Yes "Rocky Mountain High"!! Heaven got a beautiful Angel and I thank God I had the pleasure of knowing you not only as a business associate, but also as a friend.  You made me laugh, made me smile and I will love you forever. God Bless You My Friend.

What a beautiful tribute to an outstanding person throughout. Our paths had crossed only a few times.
I wish I had known Debby better.

Debbie was always so cheerful when I saw her. She will be missed.

Debbie life gave us memories too beautiful to ever forget.

Debbie was such a sweet person, I am going to miss her very much. Whenever I would see her at the office or an event she was always smiling.

Dick and I have many memories of fun times with Debbie - dinners and dancing with the bear at the log house, great Vegas trips and many Pinery Member/Guest parties. Debbie was so easy to be with, always smiling and fun-loving she will surely be missed by many.

Debbie was one of the most selfless person I knew. Always willing to help in any way she could with the wild scenarios we would have on loans. Giving was simply a part of her nature and she had a special way with people. Always smiling and laughing. She leaves behind a so many people who loved her. It was a privilege to know her.

Jack I know your heart is aching and that hole in your heart will never be filled but heaven is one star brighter. Take care of yourself. You have so many wonderful memories and they will always be with you.

I wish I could find words to tell you how much I miss you Partner. When you left the office over a year ago I felt I would be able to see you to thank you and tell you we would be glad when you returned. Now here we are, and I will have to say good by this way and wish only good things for you.

Debbie was always so kind to me when I first started @VIP and was helping out on the front desk. She always had a smile and a hello for me. I will miss you !

Debbie always told me she felt like a mom to all of us Parker Boys watching us all grow up and I told her that she was a mom to all of us and was the "totally cool mom" not the totally cool mom that would just let you do what you wanted to do, but she was always in great spirits and her happiness was always contagious with a laid back type personality. Debbie was the most genuine selfless person who was always more interested in hearing your stories than telling her own. There are those that are takers in life and those that truly enjoy giving happiness and comfort to others. Debbie was definitely a giver and someone that was always there just to listen when you needed a friend. Debbie you will be missed but never forgotten. The good lord found himself a perfect angel and hope to see
your smile again in Heaven.
Love,
Matty

"My sweet Debbie"

Words cannot describe the loss I feel in my heart! We were blessed with the time we had with one another after finding out you had this terrible disease. We were able to have deep discussions and closure with the ups and downs of our relationship. We laughed, cried, and loved one another until your last breath. I was blessed with the opportunity and joy of taking care of you at our home. I had your back! Your hospice nurse recognized how special you were. You always put on a show for her and you never complained. You tried to hide the pain from me you were feeling at times. You were more worried about me than yourself. You tried so hard to “shield” me from the inevitability of your passing. You gave me strength that I never knew was inside me. To have you with me in our home, in our bed holding you was The Ultimate Gift!

My Promises To You

I promised you, not to have a funeral because you did not want others sad at such an event.
I promised to continue your Love for your sister, Robin.
I promised to tell others you did not want flowers.
I promised that our love for one another would be Eternal.
I promised to put your Ashes where you wanted them.

I’m sorry but I asked Keith to create this site in your Memory. Your Friends and loved ones needed a way to keep Our Memories of you everlasting. I Pray I get a sign from you that you have no pain and are OK!

I guess the Big Guy in Heaven chose you because were such a giver!
I will always Love You, My sweet Girl!
Your Husband Jack

"Debbie-Arghhhh!!"

You will be dearly missed. You had a major hand in raising me and helping me become who I am today. You were my buffer and confidant when it came to certain issues or trying to figure out the best way to address something to Jack. What I am most going to miss is your "Don't Sweat It" personality and crazy funny moments that we have had over the years. You always "had my back" and helped me through some sticky situations over the years. I loved how you were always the same Debbie throughout the years and once you were loved by Debbie-you never had to worry about losing your love or friendship. When I make it up to heaven with you, I want to have a few Miller Lites with you and one of your awesome southwest salads that you used to make for Keith, Jack and I when we all lived together back in the good ole "Pinery Days". I love you Debbie and I hope you are up in heaven with your Mom Betty. Please tell her that I am sorry about having a few "get together's" at her Scottsdale Condo-everything cleaned up and washed out just fine! Rest in peace Debbie and know that you will ALWAYS be with me..

I'm am so saddened to hear of Debbie's passing. She was an amazing woman and I adored her. She always had a smile and took the time to chat even when she was super busy. Jack, you and Keith and your family are in my prayers. I'll always love my VIP family.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Debbie but Jack is an "old time" mortgage friend. God bless you both.

You always brightened the room and we always enjoyed your presence and the love you gave to Jack and your family. Rest in Peace.
