Deborah Frances Murray

Shaun, Becky, Halle, Kacie and Trey: Karen and I want to express our deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mother and Grandmother. It is never easy to let go, even when Alzheimer's has taken such a great tax on her quality of life. It sounds like she had an active, full and interesting life. Raising Shaun and getting him through college was a monumental task, I assume, as he surely has the same energy level of his Mom. Hopefully all can have some laughs at this sad time, as you gather and trade stories of all the good times shared with Debbie. Karen and I will be thinking of you and family during this emotional time. Sincerely, John Loos

I never met Deb but worked with Mike for many years and he spoke of her often. My thoughts and prayers are with Mike, their boys and the family. Tanya Driese

Debbie had a warm smile and a huge heart. Every time we saw her, I felt thankful our paths crossed. I think about how dedicated she was to being such a loving mom and grandma...it inspires me to pay that generous spirit forward to all the important people in my life, too. That's a beautiful legacy!

Remembering Debbie, our precious daughter-in-law, would take endless chapters of the happiness she brought to our lives when joining our family as the wife of our son, Mike. She was everything and more of what we could ever imagine, and it is with heavy heart those days will return only with memories. To select only one reflection of the past would be impossible, but one in particular was spending summer vacations together at our cottage on N. Sand Lake where we relaxed in comfortable beach chairs positioned along the sandy shoreline, or at the end of the pier, while watching Shawn, Jordan, and Devin have fun as youngsters in the crystal clear water and everything it offered through the years. Debbie was a wonderfully caring wife, mother, and daughter-in-law through the years and her happiness and love of what God gifted her with will be remembered forever. She, in turn, with heavy hearts will be missed and remains in our prayers. Catherine and Dick Murray.

What a splendid story you have written about Deb. I didn't really know her, but we often rubbed elbows at Lakeview school and sporting events our sons shared. I always thought she seemed to be just a doll, and now your lovely story confirms it. What a gem. I'm so sorry that all of you suffered so, and for so long. I wish I had gotten to know her myself. I'm glad you had her in your lives. Wishing you all peace. Mary Christian, Sam's mom.
