Debby was one of the nicest people I've ever met and I enjoyed the time I spent with her. She never had a bad word for anyone and was one of the hardest workers I know. She will be missed tremendously. My condolences to her family - the Boston waterfront won't be the same without her.

I will always remember visiting my Grandmother on Abbe Avenue and playing with Debby. I ran into her many years ago in Feeding Hills. I wish that I had known that she was in Boston. I work in Quincy and spend a lot of time in Boston.

My parents and I are sorry for your loss. Anne Hanley Casillo

While it was many years since we had last seen each other, I still thought of you often, especially when I heard a Beatles song from the late 60's. I remember listening to their records with you on your bed along with how cheerful and happy you were and how you spread your warmth to everyone around you. You will be missed. Your Cousin, Laurie
