I am so sad to hear of Debbie's passing. I knew her for years from Motorola and had some really great times and awesome memories we all had! I remember when she would walk with the wind so her hair wouldn't get messed up and we always teased her about that and she would get a good laugh out of it! She also lived across the street from sister on Stevenson so I seen her often! I'll miss her big smile and laughter! God Bless her and may she RIP. My Deepest Sympathies go out to all her loved ones in his time of sadness. Debbie Malouf Schultz
