Debbie is one of the strongest ladies I know and how she fought the fight to the end! So many people loved her and she was an awesome friend! I will always treasure the times we drove out to Webster to get ice cream with my kids in her beautiful convertible ! We all looked damn good riding in it. To Rick and her family, I’m so sorry for your loss! Nicole Schneller?
Rick, Chris, and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Deb was a very special person and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
How lucky you are to have so many wonderful memories of times together. I loved hearing Rick and Debbie talk about the great day trips they took and seeing the pics; the hours of fun making a zillion Christmas cookies together with the fam; and general life stories when we shared dinners together..
I will miss Debbie.

Rick & Family, our deepest sympathies on Deb’s passing. She was my Chief Margarita Taste-tester, Conspirator in All Things Lavender, Reader of my never-ending “Family Drama Novel”, Best Salad Maker, incredible Words With Friends opponent (kicked my butt often!), the list is long on how thankful I am to have known Deb… Met her friend-of-a-friend and immediately called her my friend too, instantly loved her and Rick. Grateful to have known such a dearheart. <3
