I worked with Debbie for only about a year, but she was one of my favorite people in the office. She was always smiling and friendly. I always enjoyed making her laugh and trading stories about marathon running. RIP Debbie. :(

Very sad to learn the news of Debora's passing. I just happened across Mike's memorial booklet, and was thinking about him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, and I know Mike has Debora back by his side.

So sorry to read this. Worked for years with Debbie at Farmers Insurance. She was such a delight. Her and I sang and danced in a skit for profit sharing day. So much fun. My prayers are for her family.
