To all of Debbie's family, Our family was one of the privileged ones in Ewing to have our mail delivered by the sweetest, nicest mail carrier. That was Debbie. Right from the start we knew she would be special. She carried a box of dog bones in her truck everywhere she went. Our dogs were thrilled to meet her and meet her and meet her - every day in fact. They even learned to sit and wait patiently at the mail box while she produced a treat for them. (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTO) Whenever my husband and I walked the neighborhood with them and we'd come across a mail truck, the dogs would get excited and start sniffing to see if it was indeed Debbie's truck. Sometimes they would see her coming down the street and they would go into spasms to get to her first! Debbie had a hard struggle with lung cancer. Several times I drove her to New Brunswick for her chemo when her mom could not take her and it was a "short" week. She was always upbeat and determined to beat the thing. And she always carried her blanket with her that I believe her Mom gave her?? It was a special blanket to her. Then one afternoon we were walking past her house and she came flying out with a huge grin on her face. She told us she was clean and had apparently beaten Stage 4 lung. She was ecstatic. I remember because she, my husband and I danced in a circle holding each other while the 2 dogs thought we were crazy and "Could we get on with the walk, please?" We were really happy to see her back on the route for a brief time and missed her when she was gone. Debbie was a wonderful kind person; she couldn't wait to take her son bowling and was proud that he would go out for the team in school. And she wanted to make her dog as good as ours were. (I don't think that was possible!) Our thoughts and condolences go out to you in this trying time and we will keep you and Debbie in our prayers. Linda Brennan

We were very sad to hear of the loss of Debbie. She worked at Curtis Lanes for many years. She was a wonderful person to be around. Everyone at the lanes liked her. Our prayers are with you at this time. Jill Losch, Warren Losch, Carol Losch

Our heartfelt sympathy goes to your entire family. Debbie was a friend of our family for many years and will be remembered for her kindness, caring and special smile. How we admired her strength and courage. Last year my brother too passed from cancer. During his battle, Debbie reached out to him to encourage and share with him. What a tribute to him that she and Alexander attended his services when his death was a reality which must have been so painful for her. May God bless you all during this time. With Love, Charlene & Gary Brennfleck and Jacqueline Bowker (sister & mother of Kevin "Butch" Bowker

Alex, We were very sorry to hear about your mom, she was a great lady, we became friends when you and Zach played little league, remember? She would stop and see us even after we moved from downtown. She fought for a long time so she could be there for you and watch you grow as a young man. She was very proud of you! You were a good son and she loved you very much! I know it's hard right now, but at least she isn't in pain anymore. My own mother passed 4 years ago from cancer and the only comfort we all got was that she wasn't suffering anymore. She is with God now. I'm sure she'll be watching over you. If there is anything we can do, please call. I start back to work tomorrow, and with Zach's football schedule and work schedule we won't be able to make the viewing or funeral, just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Be strong Alex, your mom knows what a strong wonderful young man you have become. Take care of yourself, Mrs. Heinemann and Zach

To the DeGroff family and Alex, I went to school with Debbie from our early childhood at Mansfield, and was also friends with her through high school and in the school band. She was a fantastic musician, but more importantly she was a wonderful human being. She was so well liked, and it was impossible NOT to like her! I always remember her as having a smile on her face and that she was an extremely kind person who never said a bad word about anyone. I hadn't seen Debbie much since high school but was happy to see her at our 20th reunion a few years ago, and she was just the same upbeat person I remembered. I just heard about Debbie's passing today (September 17) -- another classmate had emailed me but the email never reached me until now, so I wanted to send you my sympathies and let you know how fondly Debbie is remembered by some of her former classmates. I hope it gives you comfort to know we thought so well of her. I know she will be much missed. Lisa Huff, Class of '79

My Prayers go out to Debs family .I was Blessed and honored to have her as a friend. She was one of the sweetest people in this world . I know she had so much love for her son Alex and she was so proud of him. When I met him I could see why. Her compassion for people and animals was refreshing . I remember spending 2 weeks with her and had to bring my pets ,2 cats and 3 rats .Her dog loved playing with the rats and they liked teasing her back. We had so much fun . Wayne ,I never met you but Deb talked about you and how much you have been there for her . Alex , You are your moms pride and joy and I can honestly say I have never met a young man like you .The world could use a lot more like you and your mom . I pray God holds you all tight and I know Deb's light will always remain. Much Love and Peace, Steph Trenn
