To Sophie and Lloyd,
We were so sorry to hear of Debbie's passing. I watched her grow up along with my children, so many wonderful memories of those times. Our love and prayers are with you at this time. Love Pat & Helen [[email protected]]##imported-begin##Pat and Helen Estes##imported-end##
These messages have been an uplift to my soul. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. First the illness and then losing my best friend, my wife and the mother of our children have been the most trying experiences in my life. Your support and the Lord's tender mercies make it possible to go on. Thank you.##imported-begin##Kirk Garvin##imported-end##
Dear friends and family- how bittersweet it has been to sit down and read through all these messages...especially those of you that I don't know very well. That group is probably the tp-ing group...though I am sure my mom would have NEVER done anything like that!!! Some of you I only recognize by your first name (Kelly...surprisingly enough my mom did not have you listed as "Kelly Sue McCoy" in her address book- the only name I knew to look for!) I would hope that over the next few months I will be able to get addresses together and send out real thankyou notes to everyone that has been so kind to myself, my siblings and my dad. Much love and gratitude, Rachel Garvin##imported-begin##rachel garvin##imported-end##
Joe and I were very sorry to hear of Debbie's passing.
We were neighbors on E. Ralston Avenue in San Bdno several years. Our memories are filled with thoughts of a loving family. Gabrielle may remember us. She is a sweet girl. May God Bless you all.

We are so sorry for your loss. Remember how very thin the veil is, and know that Debbie is very close. May you find comfort in the memories that you have of her, and may you find peace in knowing that a beautiful new life has begun for her.

I want to send my love and condolences to a family that I have always loved and miss still to this day. Though I am miles away I have never forgotten the love and kindness and the fun times our family shared with each other when growing up. If you have ever read the book ‘Charley’, Debbie was Charley in my life. I was always scared to step out and do something that might get me into trouble. She talked me into toilet papering boyfriends houses, cruising Main St., asking a boy to dance, and as Kelly said, doing investigation work, (more like spying on my future husband to see who was dating.) I never laughed so hard as when I was with her. I use to tell her that she always got me into trouble, but the truth was, she never ever, in all the times we were together, asked me to do something against gospel standards. I always knew when I was with her that she was honorable and stood true and that we could have good clean fun. She was a good friend and I will truly miss her. With Love Christine Estes Hansen
PS – I have never forgotten the rules you had painted onto your refrig. Did she do the same in her own home?

She could always make me laugh and be happy. Can't think of a better quality than that.##imported-begin##Dave Hansen##imported-end##
The saying goes; "give me a child til they are 6 and I will tell the character of the child". Or something like that! Well, Debbie had the character from the beginning of a spirited,love life, drive everybody crazy with happiness, best friend-kind of ! Thinking of her brings the memories flooding through my mind and heart. From barbies, to boyfriends, family to forever friend, Dance festival to Dectective work and Innocence to Integrity. Debbie was someone who was always looking out for all of us around her! How can we not be so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ that unites us for eternity. My love and prayers to the families that loose her presence for now. Remember who you are - she will be watching!!! Love Kelly##imported-begin##Kelly McCoy Sobczak##imported-end##
