"Deborah was my sister-in-law and I will miss her so much. She never failed to make her famous candied pecans for everyone in our family at Christmas. She also made the best white bread stuffing and sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving that my husband and I always looked forward to having. I always enjoyed our long conversations about whatever was going on in the world. She was a great listener and conversationalist. Deb was so intelligent and kind-hearted. She was an especially kind aunt to my child and always encouraged him to pursue his hobbies and interests. Her love for my brother was like no other and knowing that they are once again together is the silver lining in her sudden passing."
In loving memory of
Deborah Reyna
