Remembering you today, Debbie. I hope you are finding peace and know how much you added to my school years. So glad we reconnected after so many years. Thoughts of peace to your family as well.

Debbie and I first met during kindergarten at Fall Creek Elementary School. After my family moved to Brooktondale, NY I lost touch with Debbie until high school when we reconnected at a Christmas formal dance. Although we weren't often in contact over our adult years, I remember Debbie with fondness and her joy of life. Sending her family members peace during this difficult time.

Debbie and I were Ithaca High School classmates and we would always catch up with each other every reunion. She was always so warm and friendly and I will miss seeing her next year at our 45th reunion. Her smile and her caring nature were always a constant with her - my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. We will miss you Debbie! Sandy Meek True
