I am so sorry to hear that Mrs. Debbie passed away! My condolences to her family! I work at Greenbrier Primary since 2011 as a special education preschool teacher assistant. Every morning I go out to the bus ramp to receive our students. Mrs. Debbie's bus 777 was one of our class buses. Though I was only with her seconds each morning her pure joy and radiance shone through. The children loved her caring words and thoughtfulness! Mrs. Debbie though our meetings were brief your outstanding and positive attitude will stay with me and your students for a lifetime.

My sincere condolences to Mrs. Deb's family and friends. Losing someone you love is never easy so I know your hearts are heavy at this time. The Bible assures us that our heavenly Father "is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) Knowing that God has the power to resurrect those we love has always been a comfort to me and I hope it will be for you as well. (Acts 24:15)

My condolences to the Matson family. Mrs. Deb was an amazing women. She was so kind with one of the most giving hearts of anyone I've ever met. I was her son, Joshua's, teacher for over 10 years and I could always count on her for support in my classroom. My deepest sympathy to the Matson family. Mrs. Deb will be missed dearly.

I met Deb many years ago while we were both stationed in Key West. We immediately became friends. We also both got transferred to Virginia Beach within two years of each other. She was a loyal, dedicated friend who loved with all her heart. Her children were her everything. I am so saddened to hear that she passed. She was one of the good ones for sure. I will cherish my memories of our friendship. May your memories of the wonderful person that she was and how much she loved you and was loved by others bring you comfort during this difficult time. I love you Deb!

Words are limited for comfort, so I would like to share with you a beautiful scripture were Jesus makes us a wonderful promise at john 5:28 which says Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tomb's will hear his voice 29 and come out, Rev 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mounting nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Isaiah 33:24 guarantees. And no resident will say "I am sick" Please accept my condolences.
