"To Debi’s family, you probably don’t know who I am; I was engaged to Ronnie Hayes(Nicole’s Dad’s Father). I got to know Debi & Nicole very well. I was so shocked to hear of her passing. I will always have her in my heart always. I will always be available for Nicole, she is a wonderful young lady mature well beyond her age. Again I am so very sorry for your loss, may God bless you always.Sincerely yours, Cheryl Fine 623-533-5467."

"Debi, It seems like just yesterday we were just little girls playing make believe, I was blessed be able to laugh with you again after so many years. You are a free spirit and I know that your spirit will carry on in your daughter. There will not be a time that I do not look at the wild flowers dancing in the wind and not remember you. Each life is touched by others, with you the touch was warm and loving and will linger forever. I love you lady!"
