I just wanted to say that having only lived next to Debbi & her family for a couple months, Debbi always made me feel welcome and as if we had been neighbors forever. The turnout at the meeting at Lori’s house today was absolutely amazing. It is so nice to be part of this wonderful, caring neighborhood. I may not know the Tepper family very well, but my love, thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of them. I hope they know I am only a few steps away and am here for absolutely anything they may need. God bless and may we all see the brightest star in the sky tonight, shining down on all of us!
George and Debbi were the first people we meant on this block. When we were thinking of buying our house we stopped and asked them how was the neighborhood? They said that it was a great place for kids and it was a great neighborhood. I think that they were right. What a great bunch of caring people we have in thee subdivision.
I don’t know if many people know it, but when there was that fire over by Wood Oak, Debbi and George were the ones who called 911. They stayed by the house and honked, as the smoke and flames were billowing out of the house, in hopes that it would wake them up. I know, because I was there. The firemen might have not gotten there as soon as they did, when every minute counts, had Debbi and George not made that phone call and “just happened” to be driving by that Saturday morning. They have been a blessing, to everyone they knew and those they didn’t.
Debbi and George were staples on this block. If we were going on a trip, we would make sure to tell them that we were going to be gone. I knew that they cared enough to “watch” things while we were gone. I think that it is only fitting that now it’s our turn to watch over George, Brandon, and Jamie. You guys need anything… just say the word. Please don’t hesitate because you have a whole lot of people who want everything to be okay for you. We know that we can’t give you what you really want… but in Debbi’s memory, we would like to try to fill in spaces that we can.
We continue to pray for you and all of your wonderful family.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that she loved you;
May you find joy in remembering all the great times;
May you know that as long as you live, she will always be alive;
And in grieving, there is no right or wrong.
God bless you.
Joe and I met Debbi and George, Jamie, and Brandon through our friends, and their neighbors Heidi and Kevin. The Tepper family are some of the warmest people we know. We shared several wonderful times with them. George, always funny and friendly, Debbi, always kind and friendly, and Jamie and Brandon, good as gold. The whole family is very close, and very strong. It breaks our hearts to know that Debbi had to leave so soon. As she continues on her new journey, she will keep watch over her family, and friends. We cry because we miss her, not because she is gone.
Debbi, we will hold you in our hearts, and think of you often….. and of course, we will love you forever.
We send our love, and prayers to all of Debbi’s family!!!
I never met Debbi, but I know her brother, Rob.
He has told me all the wonderful things about her.
I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Rob and the entire family.
I never met Debbi but I do know her brother, Robert Saey.
He has spoken such wonderful words about her.
My deepest sympathy the Rob and his entire family. God rest her soul.
My mom was living proof that good people exist and it can be contagious. Through my mom’s passing I have seen such beauty in the community and it’s my belief,that all that is happening to help our family is through her will and her guidance that she is instilling in our family and friends. I don’t think of my mom as gone. I never could, because even when she was alive, she was never far from my mind or heart. I think of my mom’s soul as my light that I have been searching so hard for in this darkness. I am still sad and angry, but day by day I have been comfoted more and more and I know that it is my mom who has done this. She has always been my strength and with her I will get through this. Thanks for all you have done and you continue to do mom.
I had the pleasure of Meeting Deb last year when I visited my Sister Lori.
I have been praying for George long before I met him. I always heard such wonderful things about them. I was blessed to finally meet them last year. And I saw her a few weeks before she got sick too! What a lovely Lady. Debbie was my Sisters Best Friend. And she will truly be missed. Since she crossed over to Be with Our Heavenly Father. The whole community is coming together. What a Blessing! For everyone to comunicate and work together as a team.
T - together, E - Everything, A - Acomplishes, M - Much! Debbie will be truly missed, But never Forgotten. Amen!

I love you mom. It has almost been a month and I still cannot believe that you are gone, physically that is. I feel your presence around me all the time but I wish I could just hug you and feel you hug me back. I LOVE YOU MOM!
Love always,
Me
I didnt know brandons mom that well. But he used to talk about her all the time and just from the things he would ssay you could tell he loved her, and still does. For Brandon: I have soo much respect for you beecause no matter what happens to you, if someone is crying he’s always the first one to cheer them up! No matter what he was going through. For Jamie: Try to hang in there. Try to be strongfor your family. I know it’s going to be hard. But through the thick and thin I’ll be here until the end for you and Brandon. Kids and families from round lake to grayslake to hanesville, just everywhere have been trying to raise money for you and your family. I have alot of respect for both of you. You can’t even explain how much respect it is. You and your family are in my prayers.
XOXO,
Morgan
