Dear Deb’s family and friends,
I was fortunate to work with Deb when she worked at Health and Human Services. She was always bright and cheerful. I never heard her ever complain. I then recently saw her a month or so ago at Scooter’s Coffee House. She was as sweet as ever. I am so sorry of her passing. She was a wonderful, kind woman that so many people admired and liked. May the Lord be with you at this sad time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you! She is your angel watching over you all!
God Bless!
Deb was so many things to so many people & most of all she was a friend we will never forget. I will always feel blessed for getting to know & work with you. You were amazing!
We want to express our deepest sympathy to Deb’s family on their loss. Deb was a very special person in the life of our brother, John and we will always be grateful for that. May God’s love and peace be with all the friends and family of Deb.
