My heartfelt sympathy to you Dayv, Taylor, Barrett and Nicole in the loss of your lifetime partner and mom. You are in my prayers. Her words, her stories, and her love for you was her life. Debbie came into my life in 1961 grade 1 and lshe never forgot me in the 53 years of our friendship. She taught me to be a true friend, to laugh, push my limits and to be courageous and find my faith. Our journey together was a friendship of never-ending friendship and love and I will miss her dearly. I am certain you are watching over us. God Bless

My heart and prayers are with you Dayv, Taylor, Barrett and Nicole for each and every day. Debbie was in my life from Grade 1 Buchanan School 1961. She will always be there. Her love for you Dayv and each one of her children was an never-ending abundance of pride and grateful for family. Her heart never forgot her Dad Dave, her Mom Doris and her sister Barb and her friends. She was amazing daughter, sister and friend. Her compassion, love for everyone has left an impression in our hearts and memories we will have for all of live. We are blessed.

Dear David and Family,
The circle of life is a most fascinating thing to consider. The joys of new life, the challenges of the journey, and the sadness of an ending. Right now all of you feel the great impact of Debra's passing which is much too early. Truly, human words cannot fully convey the reality of this loss to you and so many friends. The journey is fraught with numerous unknowns, yet our faith in a creative and loving God through messiah Jesus helps us traverse the path.
We only had the pleasure to meet Deb once and yet we knew she was so special. We came away with delight at the opportunity and a knowing that she made you and the kids complete. May we extend our genuine regards and warm embrace to all of you at this tumult of challenge. Our faith provides the hope that we too shall see our dear ones again when we pass from this rehearal of time on to glorious eternity where pain and suffering no longer restrict.
Only Jesus can fill the gap,
Terry and Ruth Ann Evans

My deepest sympathy to Dave & the entire family. I had the pleasure of working with Debra not once but twice in my career. First at Braemar for only a very short time. I was very fortunate to have that opportunity again when Debra joined cleo it was during this time that I was blessed with having the opportuntiy to work side by side with Debra and we shared many great times! Debra was talented, passionate and compassionatd balanced with that great sense of humor.
She mentored, developed & touched many people throughout her career and will be deeply missed.I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her & learn from her.

I met Deb in my early 20's, more than 20 years ago. Our lifelong friendship started as she was one of my first bosses as a junior buyer and she was this poised, fashionable merchandise manager who when smiled at people made them feel like they were the only person in the room. She had a razor sharp mind and was an incredible teacher. I will never forget a meeting we had, where myself and another junior buyer were feel stresed and acting like goofs and Deb brought us into her office and calmly said "Hey, here is the deal, you two are not saving lives on the operating table, we are making clothes, please have some perpetive" Deb taught me about what was important in life and to her it was Dayv, Taylor, Barett, Nicole and her extended family and friends. Those of us in Deb's life were so grateful for her love and friendship.
