    My thoughts and prayers are with Debby&&single&&s family at this time. Debby was a very loving, caring, undefined lady. I stopped in many times on my way back to London at her very unique store in Varna, she always had the time to help out with paint, decorating or just a chat. I am blessed to have many lovely, unique pieces to remind me of Debby and her talent. I feel undefined to have known Debby. God Bless

    Alysha and family;
    I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mother was one of a kind, so independent and beautiful. I always remember looking up to her for her strength and being such a good mother, as well as a friend with each of you. I saw her as being a strong single mom, that was able to take care of her kids and live life! Although I didnt spend time with her before she passed,I have no doubt that she was still that beautiful, strong woman at heart through all of her struggles. Remember her like that, I know I will. You should feel very proud.
    My thoughts and love are with you all.

I wonder how many drapes her and her dad have hung already…. your in my thoughts and prayers
