Dennis:

I live around the corner from you and I work in the Finance Dept. I have met you at Milano's and Wal-Mart. Debbie was a dear friend to everyone in the whole Administration Building. She was loved by everyone and she will be missed more than words can say. I have been thinking of her and your family all weekend. I just wanted you to know how special she was to everyone.

Dennis,Tyler,Kyle & Virginia,
You all are in my heart and prayers.
Debbie was so special and loving. I have so many memories of her that are so precious. Her laughter always brightened everyone's corner.
Debbie and I bonded right off when she came to the county and that co-worker became a loving and precious friend. She was truly a friend that you knew would alway stand by you in good times and bad. We have had happy tears and sad tears together. I thank God for blessing me with Debbie as a friend. She will alway be in my heart and I will miss her so much. But thank God we will all be together again some day and my what a day that will be.
God bless each and everyone of you. I will keep you in my prayers.
