Mom,
Just taking a minute to look back and read the loving messages that have been left for you. I still miss you everyday that we go on walking this Earth without you here. Still find myself wanting to call you for advice or just to hear your voice. Now, I just have to speak within myself to talk to you. I love you!
Till we meet again!
Kris

Mom,
Words really can not really express how much I love you and miss you in my life. I do not know if you ever knew this, but you were always my greatest hero. You taught us so much. You taught me how to cook, how to have a different outlook on life, a great appreciation for books, and music of all kinds. But most of all, you taught the girls and I how to be strong, and how to love. And I will always be so grateful to you for that. Everyday I look for signs of you. Finding a penny, a tickle in my throat, and always the smell of burning leaves which you loved so much. Enjoy your mansion up in Heaven Mom. I will not say goodbye, but instead I'll say... Until we meet again. I will always Love you, and will always be your son.

My heart goes out to Debbie's entire family. I know that her passing is not only a sad loss to her children and grandchildren but to Florence and her brothers and sister. A part of my heart and my life was Deb. I was fortunate enough to have shared a part of of my life as her husband. She also blessed my life with our son Jeremy. She was a strong spirit and as everyone who knew her knows she could keep a smile on our faces all the time. She will always have a place in my heart. I have never forgotten her and never will. I know she will be watching over her children and grandchildren. Travel well and in peace Deb. We will all meet again someday.

I was shocked to hear of Deb's passing. I am the eldest daughter of Lucille Forrest Dienert, sister to Florence Hayford. My prayers and condolences to all of the family. I would very much like to hear from any of my cousins or aunt if they so wish. May God's peace be with you all.

When I retired from White County Aging Program, I trained Debbi to be my replacement. I knew after only working with her for a couple of hours that she was special. Her wit was remarkable even when she was dealing with chemo and suffering with cancer. She knew how to joke and smile even when she was hurting inside. I could only hope that I could be that brave while dealing with sickness. Who would have ever thought I'd make a friend while training someone for my job. She was an inspiration to anyone that knew her..

Debbie will be greatly missed. She was such a warm-hearted, caring, positive friend. She was a mother-figure to me, someone I looked up to and always gave me great advice. My life has been made brighter by knowing Debbie. Not only did she make the best Mississippi Mud Cake, but also the best chicken and dumplings. All we had to do was ask, and the next day, Debbie would be carrying us in whatever we asked for! I will miss you. Thanks for touching my heart!

Genuine warm hearted lady that smile showed her love for others is what describes Debbie. I could always see Jesus in her because of her love, never selfish always loving. Thanks Deb for showing Gods love in your life.

Debbie was always my rock at work. No matter how she was feeling, she could always bring a smile to others and you always knew she was sencere. I am honored for having known and worked with her and to be able toi call her my friend.

Knowing Deb was no doubt a gift from God. She was always my mother figure at work. I will truly miss being able to talk to her. No matter what had her down she would always smile. She was such a joy to be around, and had such a wonderful spirit. I just know her crown in heaven is full of beautiful gems, but none of them can be as beautiful as she. I will also miss her mississippi mud cake-no one can make one better. My prayers will be with her family, and I will always love and miss her. Kelli Hale

Mom,
Everyone says that I look just like you. That is a compliment I always enjoyed receiving. I always thought you were beautiful. Even in death. But more importantly, I hope and pray that I can grow up to be half the woman you were. You were a loving, devoted mother that adored your children and grandchildren. Looking through all of our pictures the love in your heart is evident. You were selfless right to the very end. Thinking more about your children, not wanting us to be there when you passed. Not wanting us to deal with that pain. You always told me that you didn't get a lot of things right, but you did..more than you know. I will cherish the memories, every one of them. From watching musicals, Elvis movies, or you teaching me how to cook. There are so many more but it's impossible to list them all. Please give me strength to deal with losing you. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH! Goodbye my sweet angel!
Love,
Kris Kris

Marmee,
I cannot express how very proud of you I am. Your strength always amazed me. I will never forget, even in your last moments, you still kept the beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Thank you for being the strong, courageous, wonderful, and optomistic mom you were. Thank you for always being that fighter you taught us to be. I will cherish forever the laughter you made and the memories you gave us. I wil never forget all you did for us. In all that you went through, you always kept that smile on. I know that you finally got your manison, pool, and peace you always wanted! I love you, Marmee! Have fun with those angels you had around you. God and Jesus, thank you for blessing us with such an amazing mother! Goodbye, love you, ditto, Marmee!

It is heart crushing to hear that you have lost such a dear person and at such a young age. I will make it my business to send out a special prayer on behalf of Krissi, Kelli, Dani, Jeremy and of course Florence. If I can sense your pain from Baltimore, Md as an imperfect person, you can be sure that Almighty God feels your pain and will comfort you.

What He has for Deborah is outlined at John 5:28, 29. Jesus will call out and those in the memorial tombs will wake up and live again. Psalms 37:11, 29 tells us that the earth is going to be made back into a paradise and meek ones will live here... forever.

- Hold on to that hope for Deborah in expectation.

I worked with Debbie for a short time at White County Medical Center. Her smile never faded. Even when she was in pain and felt bad, she still managed to put a smile on her face. She will be greatly missed. My prayers will be with the family for God's comfort and peace.
