Dear Ryan and Debbie, I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a wonderful woman and I know that she will be greatly missed! She was like a grandmother to me at many, many times during my childhood there on Highland Park Drive. Ryan and I had many stories to tell her of our adventures during those days....some we don't need to tell...ever. Haha. All kidding aside though, she was amazing and loved her family more than anything. Heaven has definitely gained an angel, and this world lost a great woman. Our love goes out to you guys! Love, Shane, Amy, Kaylee and Leah Ayers

Dear Debbie, my children Scott and Brooke spent a lot of time in your home with your sweet mother. I was always comfortable when they were with her, knowing what a kind person she was. They behaved much better for her than me! I feel truly blessed for knowing her. She was always so proud of you and I know you will really miss her. My condolences, Sally
