When Deb married mom dad it was the greatest thing. Not only did I get another mom but also a sister and brother. When things didn’t work out for them it didn’t matter she was my 2nd mom forever. I loved her so much!!! I’m going to miss you mom. Are talks and pictures back and forth. You were an amazing person inside and out. Please send my love to Kristie and my dad. RIP mom until we see each other again.

I was shocked to learn Debbie had passed and I would miss her. She was such a gentle kind person and the good Lord place you at his side. And may you be blessed.

Debra met Konnie's friends she made up here in NJ. Where most parents would fear who she was becoming friends with, she took us all in like we were her own. Just always wanting us to be careful and of course not get into trouble. We looked like a real 80's island of misfits. Always a smile and a warm greeting but that Texas fire was in her eyes if you  were doing something wrong. On behalf of your NJ kids, we want to thank you for always opening up your door to the motliest of crews and never judging our books by our covers. We all turned out okay and you were a part of that for us. We thank you and you will be greatly missed. 

These are a few of my favorite early photos of us together. She was so beautiful.
