Condolences

  1. Vernon,

    I grieve for your loss and I grieve for my loss, but I rejoice in knowing that God has chosen to bring her home to Him.

    I am so blessed that she found me and we had the opportunity to build such a wonderful relationship. I felt like she has been a part of my life for all my life and it is going to be very difficult not having her here.

    I pray that the Lord brings you peace and comfort in this time of mourning and that His Spirit moves within you to accept the changes forth coming and provide relief for your pain.

    I love you all,
    Deb’s Favorite Cousin
    Uncle Becki

  2. Mom I miss you and Love you! Your support for Dad and I was so awesome! Your love for the Lord was one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed! Heaven is better off now and you can now sing to the Lord in person! I Love You! Your Son Dale

  3. Vernon,
    We grieve with you and yet rejoice that Deb is now in the presence of the Lord.

  5. We enjoyed knowing Debra during the Pleasant View Baptist Church days. You have our deepest sympathy.

  6. Vernon and Dale: Debbie was a beautiful soul with a heart as big as all outdoors. She is in good hands, but I know you’d rather she be with you. God’s love and strength be with you in the coming months and years. Debbie will always be missed. Big hugs to you both. Kathryn

  7. Vern:
    I was very sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. My prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. I hear that it was very sudden and it would be understandable if you are still in a state of shock. From my experience our wives are our best friends as well as our lovers. They mostly bring out the best in us and sometimes the worst but they do keep us in line. You will undoubtably keep her memory alive as you shoulder this transition with you kids and grand kids. Having gotten to know you a bit a few years ago from our trek back from Katrina, I know that you will be strong for yourself and your family. You are a decent man Vern with a very interesting and varied life experience. God bless!

  8. My sincere condolences Vernon, to you and Debbie’s family. I have only known Debbie on FaceBook for 3 or 4 months however we have had a great time researching Wentworth Genealogy .. found out that her and I are 10th cousins and her heritage goes directly back to the United Kingdom and the Doomsday Book of 1066AD. I will keep this info on the site. Again, my deepest sympathy to you and yours.

  10. VERNON AND DALE,

    I AM SOOOO SORRY ABOUT DEBBIE….I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEE HER NAME FOR A LONG TIME…..I MISS YOU GUYS AND I AM SORRY THAT I AM NOT AT HUNTINGTON BANK ANYMORE……I WILL HAVE YOU IN MY PRAYERS.

  11. I will miss our morning coffee over emails Deb!! I was blessed when you befriended me and will always cherish our love for coffee over emails every morning! Thank you for your beautiful friendship and I will miss you tons!

  12. Dear Vern and family. Your loss is felt by all of your friends wherever they may be. She has finished her ministry here on earth and shall be welcome in heaven.
    Much love Leo & Lyn Miller

  13. Grandpa Vernon and Dale,

    I am so very sorry for this tragedy. I can’t imagine the pain that you are going through. It’s very surreal to think that you and Grandma Debbie were here at our house just last week.

    I am praying for you both, that Jesus will draw you near to Him and comfort you in your loss.

    We will see Grandma Debbie again someday. She is worshiping at the feet of our risen Savior at this moment. She is happy.

    I miss Grandma Debbie and I know that you do too. Nothing can take away the pain that you are feeling, but we will see her again and when we do it will be for eternity.

    Praying for you. Love, Matthew

  14. Vern, I’m so sorry for your loss! My thought and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

    I didn’t know your wife, but after reading the other messages she sounded like a fantastic person who will be greatly missed.

    Take care,
    AnnMarie Comfort/WTHR

  15. Vern,

    We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God wrap his loving arms around all of you in your time of need.

    Love,
    The Sauls family

  16. Dear Grandpa Vernon,

    I’m praying fo you! I can’t imagine the feelings of loss and sadness you are feeling right now. Grandma Debbie will be remember forever by all of us because of her caring spirit. She had a true love for all of us and that will not soon be forgotten!

    This reminds me of a line in one of my favorite songs which says,

    “I’ll see you in another life in Heaven where we never say goodbye!”

    That’s the mindset I am trying to achieve, and, even though it’s heartbreaking now, we DO know that we WILL see Grandma Debbie again one day in Heaven!

    Even though saying these things doesn’t help the heartbreak you feel, I wanted to say them anyway.

    Always praying for ya!
    -Mickey

  17. Dear Vern, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. God bless you all.

  18. Dear Vernon, We are so sad in our humanness…but keep reminding ourselves of how happy and healthy Deb is now, in the presence of her Saviour. We will not let the children ever forget Grandma Debbie and how much she loved them, and how much she meant to us all. We love you and are praying for God’s comfort and peace for you and the family. Love, Grace and Mike

  26. Vern, I am so sorry for the loss of the love of your life for over 40 years. Debra and you are a true example of what love and committment to God is all about. You don’t know how many people from our work paths at Channel 6 & 13 have expressed concern and prayers for you and your family at this time. You should know you are loved by many, as well as Debbie.

  27. Vern,

    I was to sorry to read about Debbie’s death. I have many warm memories of working with her with her service to Arab World Ministries with her artistic talents and gifts of service. May you see the all compassionate Savior comforting you and your family. She is praising the Savior, all the day long.

  38. Please know you have my sympathy! I so admired/appreciated Debbie’s kindness to Margie Hiestand & all the effort she went to give her a HUGE birthday party, several years ago.

  40. Vern and Family,

    Words just don’t seem adequate to express our deepest sympathy for your profound loss. Debbie was truly an earth angel! May you find comfort in her memories and love for the Lord.

    In your time of sorrow may you be reminded of 2 Corinthians 12:9 that says, My grace is sufficient for you, my strength is made perfect in weakness. Only God in His power could make this possible. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and will continue to be with you.

  41. “Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.” – Anonymous

    My deepest sympathies are with you and your family and you will remain in my prayers.

  42. To the Veal Family, Jim and I send our heartfelt condolences and sincerely hope that all of you will feel God’s love and His caring at this most sorrowful time.

    Blessings, Jan & Jim

  43. Vern,I just heard that Debby had passed last evening and just left a voice mail with Bob W. at Ch13 to ask about the details. I am so sorry to hear of her passing remember fondly of our days worshiping together at Walnut Grove Chapel. May the Lord comfort as only He can you and the kids and grandkids at this time.

  44. Dear Vernon,
    Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Debbie was such a bright light in so many peoples lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
    Fondly, Marilyn & Steve Carter

  46. Vern,

    Bob and I are so very sorry about your loss. You were both so devoted to each other. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Vern.

    Take care.

    Teresa and Bob Detrich

  47. So sorry to hear about Debbie. Pauline Neddo told me at Mom’s funeral. Debbie was so young and I am sure she will be missed by her family. Mom told me that Dick Bewley said she was the most beautiful bride he had ever seen.. Not to sure what Willa had to say about that.! Friends from the Pleasant View Church were the best.

  48. Vern and family,

    I am astounded to read in today’s paper of Debbie’s going home to be with the Lord.

    Once upon a time, Debbie and I met at a Red Hat Society meeting – and immediately decided that we did not like it but we liked each other. She was such a morning person – and – I am not, so it was hard to keep up with her. However, my brother and I will always appreciate her enthusiasm (and yours, Vern) in helping us celebrate Larry’s 75th birthday 5 years ago.

    Psalms 116:15 – “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.”

    So sorry for your loss.
