I got to know Debbie through our years working together at The Northeast Company. There were a bunch of us girls & we could get pretty silly sometimes. I have many fond memories & I will always remember her smile.
I pray for God's perfect peace to comfort her family during this difficult time.

May the “God of all comfort” be with your families and help you to endure the days ahead; he knows what you are going through, may your cherish memories of Debbie help you to endure your loss.
