  4. My deepest sympathies to Deb’s kids. I enjoyed working with your mom at John Deere. There is a couple of stories I want to tell you about your mom. We had a manager who would come to the store and ask how are you. Well he came in one day and asked Deb how she was. She replied fine. He asked her again and again she said fine. Finally on about the fourth time, I leaned over and said tell him you are never better!! She did and that was the end of that. That was a good laugh. Jonathon, I will never forget Deb telling us this story. It was your birthday, and your mom said that she had asked you what kind of cake you wanted chocolate or white? And your mom could hardly get out what you said without laughing because you told her you better have chocolate because you were allergic to white! Please remember the good times it will get you through the difficult ones. Take care

  5. Dear Family please accept my heartfelt condolences for your recent loss. Rev.21:3,4–says death will be no more suffering or pain be anymore the former things have passed away.God cannot lie (Isaiah 55:11).Please let Gods word the Bible be of comfort to you in the coming days ahead.

  6. I went to school with Debbie in Elkton and she was a very true friend. She was in the Elkton Elkettes a marching cheer organization and she definitely worked hard as I know she did her entire life. She was always very honest and true as that is a very good quality in those years of a small town and sticking together in our class of 32. She will always be remembered and missed. My best to her family. And US town kids always stuck together!
