Final Chapter

Unfortunately, Debbie lost the battle to ovarian cancer on February 26, 2015.  Nonetheless, she remained faithful to Jesus -- God incarnate -- to the end.  The night before she moved to Heaven, we played praise and worship music and we sang and cried and laughed.  She had no pain the last two days so we could hold and hug her without hurting her.  She had a great sense of humor and it was so refreshing to see it shining those last couple days. She couldn't get out of bed, but she did a little rocking motion to the music so she could dance one last time.

I don't have the eloquence Debbie had so I will stop.  But rest assured that if you get to Heaven, you will see her there.  No doubt she will be on the welcoming committee or the praise and worship team.  I know God has something special for her to do.  God's gain is my loss and I will miss her terribly.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matt 22:37) so you can have the peace, assurance, and joy that my wonderful wife Debbie had even on her last day on earth.

Queen Debbie!  She was a good sport.  :-)

May God bless and keep you!

Tim & David,

I'm celebrating Debbie's life well-lived from here in Georgia.

I worked with Debbie in North Africa. My life was so enriched by knowing her. She was always such an encouragement and example to me.
