My Aunt Debbie was a caring and giving women. She gave what she could to various organizations in STL many of which included animal shelters and adoption facilities. She LOVED her dogs and we’re happy to say both her fur babies found loving homes. By the power of faith and some loving neighbors Debbie can rest in peace knowing her dogs are in a great place!
