shawn, you are in my thoughts and prayers.I felt like I knew Debbie from our personal emails following Susan's passing. God has welcomed a beautiful angel into heaven. She and Susan are at the side of Jesus. At peace. Home at last. I love you.

I still can't believe Debbie is gone. I have so many great memories of her that make me smile. Even the ones of her ticked off at Shawn and me for whatever mischief we were up to. But I will forever remember her sweet smile, calm demeanor, affection, beauty and the love she showed to me and so many. She and Shawn have such a special bond - one not seen in many mother/daughter relationships. I know the she is free of her pain now and I am grateful for that. I just wish I could hug her one more time. I offer my condolences to Shawn, Buddy and the rest of her family. I pray they take comfort in the fact that they will be with her again someday.

Debbie was one of the sweetest ladies I ever met:) She always treated me like family, and always greeted me with such a genuine smile and hug. She passed that sincerity down to her sweet daughter as well. Debbie was a wonderful mother and was one of those people you meet, and just really enjoy being around, and want to spend more time with. I am praying for Debbie, Shawn, and the rest of the family. I am honored to be a part of her extended family and I hope you all know that you are in my most heartfelt and sincere prayers. Sending much love your way.....

Debbie was a strong,beautiful person and animal lover ..she will be missed dearly by everyone that was lucky enough to have known her!! I am thankful that she is peaceful and pain free now. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathies to your family. I didn't know Debbie personally but Shawn is like a sister to me. I loved hearing about Debbie's life. What an amazing, beautiful person that showed such great strength. She has passed on her legacy through her beautiful daughter Shawn and grandchildren who loved her dearly. May you all find peace in knowing Debbie is in the loving arms of our Father above.
