Dear Lauren and Family,
I am very saddened by the loss of Debbie. It's been a long time since I've seen you. I remember when you were a very young girl your Mother would bring you to my hair salon. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Your cousin Davene Smith (Tartick)

I knew Debbie while working at Magavern's... she was always upbeat and happy. Even though we lost contact, her passing shocked and saddened me. I have been keeping Lauren and the rest of her family in my prayers for that peace that passes understanding.

Lauren and Family -
I was very saddened to hear of your loss. Debbie's genuine interest in others' lives made for great conversations. She was always so proud of you, Lauren. One of my lifelong friends was also very 'into' Blue Rodeo and Debbie was always the first to fill me in on their next date in the area so I could pass the information along to my friend. Draw strength from your memories and she'll forever live on in your hearts. Debbie will be missed.

Debbie was such a helpful Secretary in Communications. When I went for advisement without my printed credits, she simply printed it out for me right then and there. Being around her friendly attitude was refreshing and contagious. God Bless the entire family. You will be greatly missed at Buff State.

What a wonderful, friendly and generous woman Debbie was! Her laugh will stay with me forever. She always spoke of her daughter and how proud she was... She will be greatly missed by all of us at Nietzsche's... My thoughts and prayers go out to her daughter and the family.

Lauren and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. She was a great lady! I worked with her for a short time in the library quite a long time ago. I pushed her to take the civil service exam so she could stay on campus.
We had many good laughs together. I will miss her very much.
Take care and God Bless,
