My condolences to Debbie's family and friends. I haven't seen Debbie since high school, but my memory of her is vivid. On a double-date to a formal high school dance, I drove the four of us through Memorial Park after curfew and we were stopped by a Wadsworth cop. Though I and Dave Thomas were in tuxes, and Debbie and Pattie Ray were in formal dresses, this law-enforcement genius decided that he was going to bust us as vandalism suspects. We had to go to the police station and wait there while our parents were called and came to get us. Later, we all had to appear in court. I forget how the case turned out, except that it didn't amount to much, but it made for a great story. Rest in peace, Debbie.

Debbie was a classmate of mine at WHS. Though I didn't know her really well I remember her as being very friendly and kind. I always thought she was so beautiful. My condolences to her family and friends.

For Debbie;

A Cure Was Not To Be

God took a look around his garden and found an empty place
he took a look upon the earth and saw your tired face
he put his arm around you Debbie and lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful for he only picks the best
God knows that you were tired and a cure was not to be
so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered come to Me
with tearful eyes I watched you and saw you slip away
although I cared for you dearly I knew you could not stay
it broke my heart to lose you but you never went alone
part of me went with you on that day
God had called you home

After Glow

I'd like the memory of me

To be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an afterglow

Of smiles when life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo

Whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times and laughing times

And bright and sunny days

I'd like the tears

Of those who grieve,

To dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave

When life is done.

- Carol Mirkel

FAREWELL DEBBIE

It is sad, that there have been so many members of the class of '73, who have passed over the years. Debbie is the first, that I have met and gotten to know. She will always be the first who touched my heart. I am happy that I got to meet her. Debbie was always smiling and had a happy outlook. Even though we knew she had to be dealing with a lot of pain inside, she didn't show it. She was energetic and had a funny naive way about her. Debbie told me she loved the minis that we had. And looked forward to going to each and every one she could make. I wish she could have made it to more and I wish we had more of them before she died. I will truly miss her smiling face! Rest in peace dear Debbie. God received a very special angel Friday.
