I worked with Debbie for a few years at Monticello Memorial Gardens. She was not only a co-worker but a great friend through a difficult time in my life. I saw Debbie several months ago and we promised to keep in touch. I will miss her very much. I will remember the fun times that we had and her smiling face. May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten. My prayers are with you all.
