In His garden where beauty sleeps,
Awaken daily by the seed,
A new beginning that will never cease,
For in the garden you’ll see,
Smiles for Debbie.
Think or her as she gives that smile,
Listen closely and you’ll hear the sound,
Birds and colors, morning dew,
You will find yourself there,
And Debbie too.
Wade thanks for the well written words!!! We will truly miss her. She was one of a kind and loved all.
Lifting you and your family in prayer. Debbie was beautiful externally and internally. She will be greatly missed – especially her laughter and kindness. She will always have a place in our hearts.
Debbie always made me feel like the most interesting and amazing person in the room. What a bright and beautiful presence she had. I’ll miss the warm welcomes and warmer smiles. Love you, Deb.
