Bill, Judy and all in the Castellon family, my deepest condolences for the loss of your dear daughter, sister and aunt. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Know that Debbie is no longer in pain and she is smiling down on you while dancing on the other side of the gates of heaven with the angels for Our Lord. I am so glad I had the pleasure to meet Debbie a few years ago, she was such a bubbly young lady and sure did love her music. God Bless Debbie and may He hold her in the palm of His hand. Rest in Peace Debbie.

I am so sorry to hear about Debbie’s passing. My condolences to to her family.
To the entire Castellon family, of whom I have warm, happy memories, I send love, condolences and prayers. It is inconceivable that Debbie had to endure so much and I am terribly sorry for your incomparable loss. Debbie (and Shelly) became two of my very first friends-at age 6-when they moved in right next door. We did everything together. Debbie was bright, funny, athletic and beautiful. She WAS larger than life and a whole lot of fun, especially for a shy kid like me. We had such adventures together. A great childhood. She was generous and kind. She shared her clothes and toys and especially her family. Dad played with us after school. And I still remember her Great Grandmother on her Mom’s side-so sweet and her fun and funny Grandpa, her Dad’s father. We’d all pile into his car, tell him WE were going to DQ and then add, “Want to drive?”. He always said yes and never minded the 4th “grandchild” in the car because that’s how Debbie and Shelly were-they always included me as part of the family. I will never forget Debbie, or her parents and grandparents. And Shelly, well, I love you too, forever. Rest In Peace dear Debbie! ❤️❤️❤️
Debbie was a unique soul. She always lived life to the fullest and listened to a different drummer than other people. That was what made Debbie so likable.
