My deepest condolences for the loss of Nana. She truly was an amazing person.
Our “Perfect” Mother
Your heart was big. Your love was pure. You wanted the best for us and cared about everything we went through. You raised us girls with love, courage, hope, trust, respect, passion, and rules. You loved us without condition. You are our “perfect” Mother. We will continue to remember and embrace your love until we meet again. Debbie and Tom, Norris and I send prayers to comfort you and your family during this difficult time.
Debbie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during your time of loss. While I never got the honor of meeting your Mom, I do know that she was a woman of strength and character and she passed those wonderful traits on to you. It is my prayer that you and your family will find comfort in the memories you have of the rich and full life your mother lived and that each of you hold on to the values that epitomized who she was.
In Deepest Sympathy,
Bill
Debbie and the Fanning Family,
I was so saddened to hear about the loss of "Nana"! I still remember her talking to me for almost a half hour thinking I was Dollie when we first met LOL! I will forever remember how she always welcomed me like I was a part of the family! May you be comforted in knowing that she's resting peacefully in the arms of the almighty. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and forever! Here's a virtual hug {{}} from your MPC Family in the Far East!!!! ~ Love ya, My

I pray that you find peace from the wonderful memories shared together and may those memories comfort you and your family now and in the days ahead. Please let us know if you need anything. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, LaToya Bedgood
We are so sorry for your loss. Debbie, I will not forget how your family dynamics always seems very loving, and how fondly you spoke of your mother (nor that you got her "skinny" gene).
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

One's legacy is the wonderful family and friends left behind. May each of you take something with you from your Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, to make your legacy something she will be proud of.
Debbie and Family,
Please know my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers are with you in this time of sadness. May your precious, joyful memories of so many wonderful years with your mother always bring warmth to your hearts and smiles to your faces. Through Debbie's stories about "Mom" and "Nana," clearly she was an amazing woman, a wonderful mother, and a much cherished grand- and great-grandmother. Peace and blessings be with you always, Capie Hubbard
