We are so saddened to hear that Debbie has passed.
We have known Debbie for years through her wonderful Shop, Primitive Treasures. Debbie always had a smile on her face and was so accommodating. She shipped my purchases back to FL for me and also answered many distress calls when I ran out of or needed something!
Our home is filled with many “treasures” from Debbie’s Shop. It’s such a nice, warm feeling to know that Debbie will always have a presence.
May it be of some comfort to know that Debbie is free from pain and earthly strife.
Praying for comfort & strength for Debbie’s family and friends.
Bev & Ed Collins
