I took a wild guess that I knew Debbie Joe. I was right. She and her sister Toni used to come to Woodbridge Virginia to visit the Stapeltons on our street. I see Debbie Joe touched a lot of hearts. RIP my friend

To Toni and Debbie's children I am very saddened to learn of Debbie Jo"s passing. I do wish I had been informed sooner as I would have been at the visitation. Your sister, your mother was a Wonderful and Fun friend!!! I regret that years went by and we had not stayed in touch. The last time we talked she was happy and healthy and laughing about all the past experiences we had as teenagers and OH What FUN and a little misbehavior and troublemaking we got into. Time and distance separated us as I moved from the area over thirty years ago. My prayers go out to each of you.Toni I know how close you two were and I am saddened for that to be missing in your life. Debbie Jo's girls I pray for each of you and the grandchildren she spoke proudly about each of you. Your good memories are a gift from God remember her in laughter and good health and lots of Love!!! If any of you would like to contact me my email is taustin53@verizon.net Toni it would mean the world to hear from when ever you are ready or just a trip through memory lane. If you email me I will give you my phone number so we can talk. Take care and know she is at peace and rest. Loving regards to each of you. Youlonda Meadows-Austin

I’m so sorry for your recent loss. My deepest condolences to your family. Death of a loved one is never easy to endure, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Continue looking to God and you will always find comfort in him (2 Cor 1:3,4). He will soon destroy the enemy of death (1 Cor 15:26), and He will soon return our loved ones to us through the resurrection (John 5:28,29). Please visit JW.org and search “When Someone You Love Dies”, it helped me through some difficult times and I hope you can find comfort in it also.

I am so sorry for this great loss...I share in the sorrow of her loved ones. May God comfort and sustain each of you at this very difficult time.

You are loved and remembered. Mother, grandmother and more. You will be missed. Prayers for all who you loved and loved you. Be rid of your pain. Peace be with us all during this holy week. Love, Angela Lugar

Erica, Toni, Natalie, & families, Sorry to hear about your Mom. I remember Debbie Jo as a smiling young girl with lots of spunk. I pray that your memories bring you comfort. Hugs Lynn & Ed

So sorry for you loss.

I pray for God's comfort for each of you at this difficult time. Please find comfort in God's promise "to be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord." I will miss seeing Debbie when I came to visit my daughter and when she and Toni would be at the store.
She always smiled. Nancy

Our sincere condolences
