She was always very nice and a pleasure to be around. She had great parents!
I drove Steve to Greenville SC to get the marriage license.
I love the memory you shared about driving my dad to get the marriage license. Thank you for sharing! I definitely know who you are. They talked about you often!
My sincerest sympathy goes out to Steve and Amy and all of her other family and close friends.
Steve & Amy, I am so very sorry for your loss of Debbie. We had so many wonderful times growing up in Beaverdam. She was a wonderful friend. I’m praying for you & your family.
So sorry for your loss….. Debbie was a beautiful lady and she radiated joy with her smile. Prayers for each of you.
To Steve: I am sorry to hear of the loss of your wife. Hope you are doing OK. (I used to work with you many years ago at Western Auto in Asheville)
I am sad that Debbie has passed and my heart goes out to you, Steve and family.
