I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Deborah. She touched many lives and will be missed by her dear friends.
She is all around me. In a Japanese maple she bought me when we first bought this house. In the flagstone in the ground in front of the patio. In all the hostas growing all around my house. In the huge seashell in my bathroom that she brought me back from a cruise. In the necklace I wear almost weekly to work. In the small bowls I use daily. And on and on… she was my friend and I miss her terribly.
I am so sad for the loss of Deb. An excellent nurse who was a true patient advocate. I am honored to have known her.
To an amazing person and nurse. You will be missed dearly. Until we meet again, we can catch up on our horse stories.
Deb Kroon,
Not a day goes by without thinking of you. It’s been so hard not having you here and I miss you. For me I cannot accept you are gone. I can still see you coming in and giving me a big hug and saying ,’Hello Love.’ One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die. I love you Deb and will always keep your memories alive
So sorry to hear of her passing. We had some great times, she always brought a smile to my face.
Deb you will be greatly missed. You had a wicked sense of humor and a big ole heart. I loved working when you were charge in the ICU and then seeing you as a Cal-Ore flight nurse, coming in to the ED to pick up our patients. You were an awesome nurse. Rest in peace my friend!
I am so saddened by the loss of Deborah Kroon. When our loved ones fall asleep in death, the pain of grief seems unbearable. Our loving God Jehovah understands how we feel and he comforts us by means of his word the Bible. Revelation 21:3, 4; Says And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The scripture at Psalm 147:3 is also very comforting; He (God) heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds. May these scriptures bring comfort and calmness of heart to you during the difficult days ahead.
Dear Deb, I am so sorry it has taken so long to find you. I remember quite clearly the first time I met you in ChCh, it feels like yesterday. I still have your photos, your letters, the memories. Where ever your soul may be I hope you traveled well to get there and that your missing family where there to greet you. I did love you, and I hope I will be able to see you again when it’s my turn.
