So stirred that the memory of Deb popped up today. It hurts my heart to know that you have passed, and you are one of the people I never should have lost touch with. Your spirit and sense of humor lives on, my friend.

Andrea & family-
Im so sorry for your loss! Heaven gained one special angel....I will cherish the memories I have of Deb working in the office at Cohen, she had a sense of humor and wit like no other!! She made working fun and always made me laugh, I always said she should have been a stand up comedian, she could have put them all out of work....my favorite stories are those about "what" and the drama with her "kitten fur" hair.
We had some great times, I loved her.
RIP my friend....until I see you again...

Andrea and Family,
I was so sad to hear of Deb's passing. We spent a lot of time together in the early hours of the morning at Cohen School before anyone else arrived. We talked about everything under the sun. Deb had an underlying compassion for others and was always willing to help out when needed. I still miss talking to her on a daily basis at work. My sincere sympathies.

I am so sorry to hear of Deb's passing. My mom, Mary Jane Seal Arnold, and her mom were friends, and I can remember playing with Debbie whenever our mom's visited. I can remember that she had a pet goose at one time that got to sleep in the house in a laundry basket and then for a while a little alligator that got to roam the house and slept in the bathtub at night. We remained friends through high school, and she's one of those people I just so regret losing touch with. I met you once, Andrea, when you were 7 or 8. I send my deepest condolences and will keep you in my prayers. Judy Seal Snyder

Rest in God's hands my wonderful friend. We had a lot of great childhood memories. We lost touch in our later half of life, but you were always in my heart.

Dear Andrea, Diane and families, I am heartbroken to read of Debbie's passing. She and I were thick as thieves in highschool. We would talk on the phone every night for hours. We smoked in her mother's yellow Mustang, and piled kids in my family's red Volkswagen Bug. When I went away to college, we promised to stay in touch, however, distance and time kept us apart, and each went on with his life. I returned for highschool reunions over the years, and was at our 45th this past August. Each time, Debbie was the one I wanted to see most. I guess our friendship was meant to be only during our highschool years. I will admit, it was the best of times! This picture is the first I have seen her face in 45 years. RIP sweet Debbie. My most sincere condolences, Dan Waite
