To the Gatton,
I’m at such a loss four words. I cannot believe that she’s gone. She was a big part of my life and I was a big part of hers. Rest easy Debbie you have no more worries. I hope to see you someday. I know you loved me and I loved you!
John so sorry to hear about the lost of your sister.
May she rest in peace.
Debbie was a friendly hardworking person who was always ready with a smile, laugh and friendly word. Taken far too soon, she will be missed.
My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.
I only met you a few times but you were a very kind and friendly you will be missed. 🕯
Such a special woman; you could not help to love. Beautiful inside and out, she loved to work, help out her neighbors, and give sunshine to everyone she met along the way. I had the honor to work with her everyday of the last year. She enjoyed finding new corners of the county and collecting sea glass along the beach. Trying new recipes, puzzles and crafts. Debbie, I miss you so much it hurts
I am still in shock you were taken way too soon. To say I am at a loss for words is a understatement. Let me start by saying I am Blessed to have had you in my life. I will always remember your beautiful smile & laugh. You were one of a kind & and had a unconditional love for so many. All you ever wanted was to be loved & help others who needed it.. A very hard worker with your little helpful hands, trying to please everyone. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. I will look after your Momma Kathy and do my best to keep her safe & smiling.. All my Love, Rest in Peace..Love Lynn
Debbie brought so much joy to Momma Kathy and I. I feel honored that she considered us her family as we considered her our family. She always greeted us with a smile and a warm hug. Debbie loved having her own apartment that she shared with her longtime companion her dog Paris and her cat Julie. Debbie loved for us to come to her house for holiday dinners. The holidays will not be the same this year. I’m sure she is happy to be reunited with her parents and Paris. We love you Debbie.
