Our thoughts and prayers go out to all you. We are so very sorry to hear about Debbie. When things like this happen there seems to be no words to make the pain go away. We are so gratiful that we were able to spend time with Debbie and the family at the reunion in 2011. We shall never forget those precious moments. May God Bless all of you in this time of need. Love Steve and Sharon Squires
I was so sorry to read of Animal's passing. We graduated together & hung out together after high school. Unfortunately we didn't keep in contact after we both got married. I had a lot of fun with Deb & have many memories from those days. Being in her company was never boring! Know that you are in my thoughts & prayers.

How sad to read of your loss. I worked with Deb in OB and we were great friends. She was an amazing nurse and colleague. I have such fond memories of her and will keep you all in my heart as you grieve the loss of Deb. God Bless
Dear Neuman Family:
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. While I did not know Deb well, I know she picked up an amazing "Daughter-In-Law" (our neighbor, Jenny Yust) I gave the blessing at Tim and Jenny's wedding. While there are rarely words that fully express how we feel when we lose someone we love, I believe that God knows your pain and will walk with you during this time of sadness. Our family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers now and in the future- and pray that you find comfort in knowing so many care for you and are doing the same thing.
Be Blessed And Be A Blessing

Tim & Tom - I was so very sad when Cole told me about your mom's passing. I always enjoyed the time we spent at the ballfields watching our boys play! After you two graduated and headed for bigger things in life, she was always so proud to share with me your latest adventures whevever we ran into each other. She loved you two so much and it showed in her smile when she talked about you. Please take care and know that she is the Angel watching over you! ~Cheryl Roeder
I was so sorry to hear about Debbie. I grew up in the Golden Hill area, and always knew Deb as "Animal". She played softball with me and we also lived together shortly after high school.
It is sad to think not having her great, funny personality around.
Our condolences to the Fenske's and Neuman's -

My thoughts and prayers to all of you. I grew up in the same neighborhood with the Fenskes. Debbie used to babysit me! When I had my first child she was there with me through the whole thing. I was so thankful for her. My husband was in the Navy at that time so it was nice to have a familiar face with my mom and me. I have so many great memories of Debbie and all of the Fenskes. My heart is broken that Deb is gone. My deepest sympathy to you all.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time. -The Wilsons
Barry and I along with our boys send our condolences to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
