In serving and getting to know her over the years, this exemplifies Debbie’s character to me whenever I got to talk with her! her Love of Jesus and what He did for us was number 1 in her conversations to me! Sharing as fellow believers!! She made sure people knew what that PROMISE is=Salvation because of Christ dying on the cross in our place!!
I give praise to God that she was in my life and was able to be an example of this as a younger believer and to encourage me in sharing my faith!!
looking forward to meeting and worshipping with her in Heaven!!!

November 15, 2013 at 11:44 pmDebbie was always gracious and very kind and loving to our mutual grandchildren. I remember the blanket she made when Ellie was small; it was beautiful and kept her full of constant hugs. Charlie and Miranda also thought the world of her. Am very sorry for the entire family’s loss of such a lovely soul.

November 16, 2013 at 4:10 pmDear Hollinger Family,
I had the joy of getting to know Debbie when she was involved with Hands for Christ. She gave her heart and soul to supporting the ministry. Even though she didn’t believe it herself, she exuded joy when signing to music. Her face always showed the love she had for The Lord. I was always so thankful for her encouraging words and uplifting spirit. She always would talk proudly of her children and was so glad she shared her sign language experience with Verna. She always made me smile. I had the chance to visit with her before she moved from her apartment and was so glad I did. Heaven has received another angel!

November 17, 2013 at 10:58 amThis is such a sad thing for everyone from the family to friends and even to the church. Even though I have known Debbie for years and years I always will miss her laugh smile and sense of humor I always thought of her as a step grandma. We always had a great time together. I hope you are happy in your new home Debbie. I will never forget you and how much I love you.
LOVE,
Erica Castetter

November 17, 2013 at 5:15 pmTim, Jenn, & the entire family, You have my sympathies in the loss of Deb. Even though she lost the fight, the victory has certainly been won and she’s whole again in God’s presence. Yes, there will be tough days as you miss her but I know you will be continually comforted by the knowledge that there is no more pain, only joy in her face.
