She wrote in July 2019: “I want them to remember me as being passionate about life and living – and passionate about them.
“I want them to be proud of me, for making an impact and raising awareness of cancer and its signs and symptoms. “And I want them to grow up to have no regrets, put their health first, live in the moment and to make the most of every opportunity.“Don’t put stuff off, don’t regret not seeing your loved ones.And she wrote of her husband-of-13-years:
You have saved lives ..how many of us get to do that in our brief spell here ? and done it dancing ..we love you x

One word Inspirational to sum up bowelbabe. Love to her partner and children ❤️ 💕. Words are never enough
I'm so sad to read this, fly high beautiful. You gave me the courage to get checked. Thoughts are with your family and friends ❤
So sorry.
Can you at least respect bowelbabe Deborah’s message and quote her important message correctly. Her message says she is ‘not able to walk’, not she is ‘not unable to walk’. An important nuance to those who support her.
So so sad 😞 💖💖
A lovely and brave lady. Sending hugs and love to her and her family and friends 💕💕
God Bless❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
My heart is broken❤️🩹
