Aunt Debbie, you will be missed by so many. Never forgotten though. You've gained your wings and will watch over from above now. You were always so strong and such a character. I can't recall one time ever being around you and not having atleast one moment of laughter. I love you so much. Rest in peace. Have a wonderful time with all those you have been reunited with. Brandy, Michelle, Michael, Jeremy, Adam, and Cory, you guys will get through this. Be strong for one another. And know you have so much support from family and friends during this time and all times to come.

How do I start? How do I pay tribute to you? This seems so unreal to me. I want you to know that I will miss you. I have heard more in the past 4 days Big Debbie and Little Debbie it makes me know I fit in a special group. A group of me and you. I remember all the crazy times we have had, the times we haven't quite gotten along and the times we said I am sorry. I remember the fun times, how you held my hand while Mike and Fred removed that treble hook from my head!!!! I remember the long trips to the woods, and how you and Helen thought it was funny when Fred said he wouldn't take me back to the woods because I scared off the deer. I remember your kids being born...... I remember white and green Christmas trees.... there are so many memories, but my heart is heavy, I didn't think it would be this hard, but even now knowing you are at your final resting place I feel like I cant breathe right. I will miss you my friend, my sister-in-law and my name buddy. I will do my best to help your children as they continue to wonder why and how they can go on. I will hold in my heart our laughs, tears, joy, sadness, the good times and bad but most of all our friendship. To your children I say CELEBRATE the life of your mother, live each day knowing she loves you and know that I am here if you need me. So long my friend.... I will really miss you!!!!!
Debbie Dersam - sister-in-law

Debbie will be missed by me and all her co-workers from WalMart we were all saddened when we got the news of her sudden passing we were all very fond of her and we loved to hear the stories she would tell us about some of her patients that she cared for and bonded with . I will always remember how she would leave her register when her son Paul would come in and proudly tell anyone near her that he was her son and she would smile from ear to ear and just hug him tight . She was a very sweet person.

Mom, Everyday I see something that you were a part of and always will be. Others see so much of you in my appearance and actions. I think about you everyday, whether in a song*the sounding wind*or a beautiful cotton candy Sunset*~ February 7, 2019
