I will always cherish the memories I had with you when I was a little girl. You would let me pet your horse that you had on Middle Way in Vancouver.

Debbie was a member of our Back Country Horseman club in Libby, MT and a friend to all who got to know her in our horse group. We all will miss her happy smile and help.
