Loretta, you were a great friend to Debbie and Dave was a devoted loving husband. I’m sorry things turned out this way. We all loved Debbie. Thank you. for being a friend to her
We met in Amsterdam during a trip that included The Keukenhof Gardens, Delft and other wonderful places. You struck me as a genuinely kind and fun-loving individual and I will remember you always.
My condolences to your loved ones and my prayer that the grief they now feel, will soon be replaced by the most beautiful memories of you.
I enjoyed lots of great times with Debbie and will miss her very much. My heart goes out to Dave and the family.

Dave I am so sad to learn of this.
That day at Luray this year was a real treat for me I greatly enjoyed meeting Debra and hanging out with you guys.
I will recall her fondly.
Dave and family I’m shocked to find out Deb has passed on to the other side. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Deb and I had great times together in our 20’s. We kept in touch over the years and I loved hearing about all her travel stories. She also shared how much you are into tractors and would send me photos. She always made me laugh. I will miss her dearly.
