    I want to to say how very sorry I am for Debi" children, and all the family and friends she left behind. I grew up in Mitchell and the last time I saw her was after the birth of my son, which was 29 yrs ago. I loved her sense of humor, she always made me laugh, how could anyone forget her if you knew her. My son was premature so I was very nervous when I got home, she would come over and visit with me and help me out. She always said what was on her mind. I will send many prayers to her loved ones and hope you find some comfort in your grief. God Bless all of you.
