We have lost one of the kindest and most giving friends we ever had. But the Lord now has one of his angels by his side. Debbie always had a smile on her face even when things were not going her way or she was not feeling too well. Many people on this earth leave it without ever leaving a legacy, but Debbie certainly left one Hers to us will be, quotIf you make yourself a true friend of someone, they will give you the same friendship. And when we leave our earth that is filled with hate and violence, we will all someday be reunited in friendship foreverquot Our sympathy to all of her family and friends.

My deepest condolences to my sisterinlaw Bonnie Theriot and Amanda along with the rest of the family. Debbie was a precious lady and friend. Words cannot express the deep heartfelt compassion and love that she gave to others. She was barely seen without a smile. She was a outgoing, high spirited person but yet she was quite a fighter and never gave up on what she believed in. Im very proud to have known her and call her friend. We lost a very special person but the Good News is we will meet again in the sweet by and by. She was a Christian and loved the Lord. Until we meet again, she is in the arms of Jesus and no longer sick. Her battles are over Amen. When I think of Debbie, I will think of her and smile. God bless you all and I pray that the Lord will meet you all at your needs during this difficult trying time and bring you peace knowing that you will see her again. My regards.Tammy Theriot
