For over twenty five years, Debbie was an advertising executive with Bay Area billboard companies. She travelled and met with advertising agencies throughout the country to help execute advertising plans. At the time of Randy's diagnosis, she decided to keep track of the daily ins and outs of grappling with mesothelioma, because there wasn't a lot of personal information on patients before Randy's illness.

Even though life was hard, God always showed up to take care of the smallest details. So many daily miracles would appear and help would show up in the unexpected places. Not typically known for her writing skills, she decided to forge forward in hopes that this book will aid mesothelioma patients and also other people facing terminal illness. That they might find hope and comfort from Randy's experiences. She currently lives in Pinole, CA, finishing raising their two boys.
