I met Debbie when in high school working at the Elliot. She was my daughter's Godmother, but she treated both my kids special. They loved visiting with Debbie.

Our sincere sympathy to Deb's family, i.e., Kristine, Jim and Hannah, Kevin and Janet... and to her many, many friends in the community. We got to know Deb through her husband Dan, who was a good friend and co-worker at USPS.
Deb was a special person... always happy, laughing and comforting to all whom she met. She was extremely supportive of her mom and brother Jack, and is the type of daughter and sister whom everyone would love to have as THEIR daughter/sister.
We...

Debbie Walsh was one of my all time favorite special people. As her (now retired) parish priest I can say that her faith and spirit were exemplary. She was a light in this world. May she Rest In Peace and rise in glory.

Debbie, Your friendship meant a great deal to all of us. I especially enjoyed meeting you at our Tai Chi weekly classes. I am grateful for sharing a Sunday afternoon at Kevin and Janet's home and partaking of a wonderful dinner. You are a bright star for us to follow.
