Although we did not know one another except as neighbors passing by,as we watched Debbie and him landscape their front yard and the changes they were making to enchance their place, one got the sense of togetherness and the future yet neither seemed outwardly happy or very social! The reality of this sensless tragedy must be almost unbearable for you, Debbie's family and friends! No one should ever have to endure what Debbie did yet countless woman do everyday,and people must start to get involved, speak up,stand up, and stop ignoring facts or believing we must mind our business!We must support and encourage women to believe they deserve a better life and that there is a support system out there for this.It is so unfortunate that Debbie never will have a chance at a better life, she deserved so much more than this.As the people who discoverd the fire and called it in and then tried to get in the locked door to help anyone inside, then realizing the horrible reality of it all is extremly hard to come to terms with for us, so our hearts are with you at this time of heartache and unimaginable grief and torment.We placed our flowers at the last place I saw Debbie that day,in her front yard knelt down at the little tree they had just planted.Sending you our Condolences and thoughts, and wishing you the strength and courage to carry on and deal with all this in the days,weeks,months and years to come! With sincere symphathys Tom and Heather
