My (Our) sister was one of a kind, loving, caring, friendly, loved life-fought to the very end of life. Loved old friends, old times, new friends, a person you met for the first time, but gave the impression you knew her forever.
Loved her family, and would do anything she could for them. Her grandsons, she was so proud of and worshiped them. Praised their everyday life.
Our sister, may she rest in peace ✝️, God Bless her family during this difficult time,
Deb as your older sister, I will never forget the good times we shared especially as young kids, having a baby a week apart and all our events and night time stories. Church was a big time growing up for us and the memories as a kid, I know you are with our lord.
The plays we put on to our neighbors or just family God was always involved, Sis lucky you to be with all the loved ones. I love you so much

To Deb’s family and one’s most familiar to me: Brian, Jennifer And Jayme! I couldn’t have been more blessed to have met and made memories with her. Yes she did, put up one of the best fights I’ve observed with people who suffer this dreaded disease. My winter in Fl sure will be different this year without Deb and my mom, who was one of her greatest fans as well…RIP until we meet again. Love prayers,comfort and peace to u all.❤️Gena Marie

We grew up as family on the farm. As close neighbors, our daily lives were very entwined and we shared many happy and sometimes sad times. I was heartbroken when the Francis Family moved to Florida. So many years have passed since then, but nothing has changed. Even after extended times between talks, Debbie and I would pick up right where we left off. The last time I spoke with Debbie, we reminisced about our days on the farm and we shared stories about everything that has happened since then. I will cherish the memory of that conversation for the rest of my life. My sincerest sympathy to her family who will know the grief and pain of her absence. May her nurturing spirit, love, and larger than life personality stay with you always to fill the void.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
