Milt and Chris - I have many different memories of Deb from working with her at Metro. Mostly was her fiery personality and her sense of humor and laugh. I could especially see the love that she had for her family. She will definitely be missed. I am so very sorry for your loss. - Jennifer

Milt and Chris words are not enough to let you know my heart breaks for you. The best was knowing this lady could make two grown men shake in their boots by her 5ft stature. I truly am sorry. Jody
