Wow, what a great life I’ve had! I have been blessed to have a beautiful family that knows how to have fun and really LIVE!

There are so many friends who have had such a powerful impact on my life, and I was lucky enough to see almost all of them in the last days before my passing. Thank you for taking the time to come and see me.

I want you all to know you mean the world to me and the gift of your friendship made my life even better. We have had a blast with so many fun, wonderful adventures and I hope those memories will continue to put a smile on all your beautiful faces!

My beautiful, sweet husband, Brad, I’ve loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you when I was 18. In the past four decades, that love has only grown stronger.

My beautiful daughter, Shannon, you fulfilled my dream of becoming a mom and your kind, sweet, pure heart has filled my life with joy.

Drew, your enduring devotion and commitment to Shannon has been a source of comfort and strength to me.

My sweet grandson, Knox, you have been a gift and constant source of pleasure and pride from the moment you arrived. I’m sorry there is so much I will miss, but please know I will always be with you in your heart.

My amazing son, Beau, you’ve always marched to the beat of your own drummer and lived life on your own terms, which I always loved. I am so happy I was able to meet Lauren, your future wife, before I had to leave. You two are so good together and I know you will have a beautiful life.

My sister, Sherry, and brother-in-law Ken, the time we had together was a constant source of joy and laughter. I will miss you both dearly.

To all of you I’ve known and loved, don’t be sad. Live your life and find joy in each and every day. Life is what you make it and there is beauty all around you. Embrace life with both hands, and when you do, think of me. — Ciao

A celebration of Debbie’s life will be held Saturday, June 26, at 5 p.m. at Sherry and Ken’s house, 5205 Second St., Kelseyville (cross of Gard Street — entrance is on Gard).
