I knew Deb and the Higgins family as we grew up as neighbors in South Kansas City MO. We went to St. Regis Church and school and O'Hara High School. We spent time playing kickball in the backyard, listened to music and then grew up. It sounds like Deb had a beautiful life as a wife, Mother and Nurse Practitioner. Heartfelt prayers to Frank and Deb's children and 
to the Higgins family...Mrs. Higgins, Becky, Davey and Sean.

Deb and I worked together at St Vincent's in Jacksonville. She was my sponsor when I came into the church in October 1984. We came over for spaghetti with a huge meatball. I don't know where I would be without her guidance and support. I'm sorry we lost touch. God Bless Her Soul. God Bless All of You.

Dear Frank and all Deb's family,
Deb touched me and so many others with her caring, loving, and unselfish being.  I am so sorry we have lost such a shining light in our world.  Please know that you all are close to my heart and in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time.  Thank you for sharing Deb with us these too few years.  Her memory and her kindness will live on in those of us who were fortunate to have known her.
Lovingly,

Clemson University nurse practitioner students were SO fortunate to have Deb as their preceptor.  She showed so much compassion for her patients and was passionate about teaching women how to take care of themselves and their children.  She truly made a difference with her patients and future nurse practitione

I can’t begin to express the sadness this news brings. Deb was an amazing nurse, teacher and friend. I feel blessed to have worked alongside her even for a short time. My sympathies to her husband and family at this devestating loss. She will be loved and remembered by many. Rest In Peace Deb.

Deb was an awesome lady and I'm so blessed to have known her and worked with her at the clinic. God could not have made a more special woman. She truly cared for each and every mom and unborn child. She never followed a time schedule and gave every patient the time they needed to educate them, answer questions and just put them at ease. Cara, I'm praying for you and the whole family that God will grant you all peace and heal your broken hearts...

Sharon Warday left a message on February 13, 2019:
SHE WAS THERE
When a calming, quiet presence was all that was needed,
She was there.
In the excitement and miracle of birth or in the mystery and loss of life, She was there.
When a silent glance could uplift a patient, family member of friend, She was there.
At those times when the unexplainable needed to be explained, She was there.
When the situation demanded a swift foot and sharp mind, She was there.
When a gentle touch, a firm push, or an encouraging word was needed, She was there.
In choosing the best one from a family’s “Thank You” box of chocolates, She was there.
To witness humanity,—its beauty, in good times and bad, without judgment, She was there.
To embrace the woes of the world, willingly, and offer hope, She was there
And now, that it is time to be at the Greater One’s side,
She is there.
