"Hello there, Deb was my supervisor when I worked for Mid-America from 2016-2017. I wished I could've made it to the service this afternoon, but the weather kept me from traveling. She was always be remembered to me as one of my favorite supervisors. Though work was hard during the busy days/seasons, we all used humor to get through it. I'll always appreciate Deb's leadership skills, and how she took interest with the people she worked with. I'm honored to have known her, to work beside her, and to have her as my supervisor and friend."

"Dear Tim, Uriah and Ashley, I am really sorry for your loss. I have not seen Deb since she was 14 and was so sad to learn of her early death. She had the best laugh of anyone I've ever known. Deb could turn from pure joy to being filled with unwieldy teenage angst in a moment. I'm so happy she had such a wonderful family. So sad we've lost her... Page Gleisner Gough "
