Debi enjoyed being outside, planting flowers in her garden, spending time with her family, and close friends. She especially enjoyed time spent with her children and grandchildren. Her favorite place to visit, were the beaches of Florida. Some of her best memories were of her many trips to the Gulf Coast of Florida. She especially loved walking on the beach collecting seashells. She enjoyed the warm heat and sunshine that the Gulf Coast offered. Debi also enjoyed an occasional trip to the local Casino and liked to play the slot machines.

I’m so sorry for all of your loss Nathan Debbie was yourstepmother but I can tell you she loved you like her own many memories of you growing up that were really cute and funny she told me you had a special word for popcorn. Many fond memeories . Jacob you were your Mothers son for sure she always said “Jacob walks just like me ” she loved spending nights @ your house dog sitting when youd go on your trips she was very proud of you and your home. Melissa your mother loved you very much as well as Sophia and Kayla. Your mother and I rekindled our friendship we knew each other when we were young she lived across from my relatives the CRUZ’S. These last two years were very special we would stay up late and watch movies talk about memories that she wanted to share with me. She was very grateful I was able to help take care of her last summer. I don’t understand why she left us so soon but it was God’s will I will say this that your mother isn’t suffering anymore. Debbie will always be with you all in spirit and Doug I’m so sorry for your grief Debbie Will forever be grateful for these two years. Lots of great memories to cherish like when she would shop till she dropped and then calling for help to unload the vechicle there we’de go all out to unload she always bought a little something for everyone these are memories that will keep her alive in your hearts and help you all heal along with the grace of the of the Lord . I love you all so much I could never take your mother’s place but if you need anything I’m here for you all. May the Lord give you all peace and rest I pray in his precious name Amen

Melissa
I can’t imagine what you feeling your mother loved you very much she had so many memories of you when you were a little I know that you spend the most time with her helping her bathe and making sure to check her sugars and giving her the proper medications organizing her room along with many other things that were very important to her health needs. Debbie was very grateful for all of that she always wanted you to lean recipes that she cooked that belonged to your grand mother and you did ! I was very impressed when I seen you make the poppy seed salad and the corn casserole because I know those where your mothers favorite along with many more I hope and pray that you will find peace with all the memories of your mother that you’ve created together especially these last two years I’m proud of you because you because you never gave up and along with taking care of Sophia your mother wanted the best for you and all of this has made you a better stronger woman I hope you continue to keep your mother’s wishes and dreams alive she always said I just want my daughter to have a good life and become a what ever she wants “Melissa is very smart she can become what ever she put her mind to” your mother would say, she loved you very, and she adored Sophia she always laughed at all the thing Sophia would say and do. All of these memories are the best that a daughter could ever have I hope that God give you peace of mind and helps you to create memories with Sophia I’ll never take your mother’s place even though you’ve called me mom for many years. I want you to know I’ll always be there for you and Sophia. I love you both very much and I pray that you will find peace in your heart and make your mother proud she will always be with you and Sophia. May God protect you and guide you thru the rest of your journey and help you heal in his precious name I pray God Bless you and Sophia and keep you both safe Amen.

Erhardt Seidel Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Debbie is now a beautiful Angel looking down on you all. She was such a loving and caring women who never expected anything in return. I am lucky to have known such an amazing sweet person.
She was also the best pet-sitter! My dog Mamba loved her :). And I still make her delicious poppy seed salad.
Thank you Debbie for spreading your love and kindness. You had a huge heart. Love you.
Melissa says
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has reached out at this difficult time and for leaving notes of condolences and memories of my mom Debi. She sure had an awesome personality and touched many hearts and she was the sweetest woman i have ever known and I’m so glad I was able to call her my mom. She always use to say only the good die young and I think back on that and she was absolutely right! I miss my mom more and more as the days go on. Never in a million years did i think My mom would pass at such a young age 60, I always thought she would be with me in her early eighties at least. Mom your wings were ready but my heart was not! I love you Mama to the moon & Back! Please watch over me and my daughter Sophia. Save me a spot in paradise may your soul Rest In Peace my sweet momma . To my friends and family hug your parents often and tell them you love them for tomorrow is never promised
