My deepest condolences to Deb's family. I will always remember her friendly smile. She was a great neighbor and have missed her and Jack since they moved away. I will always remember our chats and am sorry I will not be able to come to her memorial. My prayers are with you.

Deb was a tireless advocate, enthusiastic traveler, really hard worker, best ever grandmother and, once upon a time, a professional ballet dancer. All of us who worked with her to end domestic violence will remember her always.

Debbie as I knew her at St Ann's was a dear friend back then. Sounds like she continued to be a dear. So sorry for all of your loss.

I am so sad to hear of Debs passing; We met in our work lives 20+ years ago, became friends easily, and she was one of the kindest women I've ever known. Your light will still shine in my memories of our time together Deb! Thank you for being you. Love to you Jack, and your children and grandchlidren. Live the love she shared with you. xo
