Forever in our hearts
Debra Parker-Hawkins passed away Thursday night, 29th September 2016. The Loups du Soleil family has lost a very dear friend.

Our lives will be forever changed by the loss of our dear friend Debra Parker-Hawkins. She was a warm, kind and generous person. I love you Deb and will miss you everyday. -Donna

Fuck Cancer. One of the kindest people I have known, Debra Parker Hawkins passed away last night in California. Deb was an amazing dog trainer and even better Lady. That wonderful Lady changed my life and started me on a path that I will be forever grateful for. Through the crazy protection dog sport of Mondioring, I have met so many wonderful people who have added much joy and certainly a mental health break to my otherwise very serious career. To this wonderful Lady I say, rest in peace. You will be forever missed. To cancer…Fuck you.. -Gail Warling Marit

Some say it is all about the dogs. Truthfully, it is all about the people we meet that share our passion… – Donna — with Debra Parker-Hawkins and Maya Conrad.

I am very saddened to say that USMRA lost a great person and good friend. I will always remember Deb for her genuinely warm smile. She was dedicated and followed her passion in the Dog sport world. Deb shared enthusiasm and excitement with many people and will be sorely missed.
RIP my friend. You made me smile many times. I miss you. -Donald Lee

The world is less bright without her light. -Kate Emblom
Deb continued to the end to support and council others to do better by their dogs. She has had such an impact on me. I love you sister. -Elissa Cline
