Will miss my sweet sister in law. Thanks for the laughter and fun Debbie. Give Glen a hug for me. My heartfelt sympathy to the Skoreyko family.

Dear Darlene, Dayton, Stephie and family,
Our hearts are broken in a million pieces for the loss of Debby. And we know our heartbreak pales in comparison to yours as sister, son and mother. We wish you the strength to get thru this and the many days and weeks and months to come. Debby had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew and she was loyal to a fault. The world without her in it is surely smaller. She was dearly loved and she will be deeply missed.
horas non numero nisi serenas …..do not count the hours unless they were happy……
