My dearest Debbie,
To our beautiful Goddaughter we love you so much. We will miss you-you are so loved by us all.  You have been the kindest person I have ever known-next to your beautiful daughter Theresa.  You are always there to help out and give guidance to all in need.  You have a kind heart, and I will miss you deeply.  Love you always my dearest Debbie,
Love your Godparents, 
Nino Pete, Nina Patty

First and foremost  we loved her very much. Wonderful women. One of Michael's favorite memories of his Aunt Deb was when he was younger. His vehicle had broken down and she would pick him up for work every day until his vehicle was fixed. When Michael was a little boy , she was Mike and Michelle's babysitter. He loved it. They lived a block and a 1/2 away and he visited Aunt Deb and Uncle Joe all the time. When Michael and Michelle were little kids, and she was dating Joe, she would pick up Mike and Michelle and take them to the drive in movies, but along the way, she would also pick up Joe too, and not let her mom and dad know.. LOL.
Myself, I remember having long conversations with Deb on the phone. Sometimes they would last up to 2 or 3 hours. She would take me down memory lane of when Mike and Michelle were little and all the mischievous things they did as twin siblings. That just blessed me to know all the things that a wife would want to know about her husband's childhood. She was just one of those people that would sit with you and visit and never say, a mean thing. We are truly gonna miss her. We truly did lose a very, very good one in this family. Forever in our hearts, Aunt Deb.  You will be missed greatly. We shall see you again in Heaven. 😘

Deborah will be greatly missed by myself, her entire family and many friends.  I know that her brothers and son were lucky to have had her in their lives.  Even though I liked to tease her a lot, I always had love for her in my heart.  Rest in peace my cousin.
