To Allan and family so sorry for your loss, Deb was a lovely lady, please accept our condolences from the Bettiens and Moller Family.
Dear Allan and family. Im so deeply sorry for your loss. Deb was a beautiful lady who would often talk about her beautiful grandchildren. It was a joy to hear her speak of them and also to always see her so bubbly and cheerful. She loved her radiant and vibrant clothing which I will always remember and her love for Jesus and what He had done in her life. May you all be comforted at this time. 🙏 with love from Alana, Tristan, Samuel and Hannah Ciccotosto (church).
To Allan and family so sorry for your loss.
Allan, Nathan and Daniel I am sorry that I cannot attend Deb’s funeral as my husband and I are currently away. I was saddened to hear the news of Deb’s passing and send you my sincere condolences. While I was at Rosedale SS Deb was a valued member of our school community who cared deeply for the students that she supported. She was kind, compassionate and always wanted to do her best for her students despite the toll it took on her health. She always spoke proudly of her sons and the support she received from Allan. Please know that I am thinking of you at this very sad time. Kerri
To Allan and Debs sons and family and Janelle and Christine and families, my sincere and heartfelt condolences on the sad news of Deb’s passing. I went to high school with Deb at Rosedale and we were confirmed together at Rosedale Lutheran church. She was a lovely person and friend and will be sadly missed by so many. I wish I could be there for her final farewell but unfortunately not able to. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all tomorrow and in the future. May Deb rest in Peace with the Lord.
Love and regards from Jill Bulfoni (nee Ruhl).
