I have not been able to speak to the family personally however, no words can express the hurt and anguish nor touch on how you feel but God shares your tears and gives the family His love. When we lose someone we love the loss seems too great to bear. Soon God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4
My deepest sympathy to all who loved Deborah.

I have so many fond memories of Deb starting from my days as an impressionable MSU student right into our years together at BG. I think of her often. She is missed.
