Debbie is with The Lord now and with her family. I will always remember Debbie with a smile and her and Mary making each other laugh. She loved when I shared bible scriptures. She said that they made her day.
You will be missed Debbie, but not forgotten. 💗
Jeff, my condolences to you and your family at the loss of your sister. May the love of family and friends surround you at this difficult time.
My prayers go out to the Lyman family. I’m so sorry that you lost. Deborah. When I think of Deborah or Debbie growing up we lived lived across the street. Four houses down. I can remember she was always wearing a smile on her face and enjoyed life. She was closer to my older brother and Michael but we all knew the family. I’m so sorry and pray that Christ will get you through. I know Debbie’s happy and she’s with the Lord in heaven with a bigger smile on her face now. God bless.
Rest in peace I love how you loved your life, children and Jesus
Since childhood we remained close friends with many shared memories and guarded secrets. Though I will miss you, am happy you are finally at peace and pain free.
You will be missed. You were the one of Kathy’s sisters I loved. Sleep well sweetheart
