Sorry to hear it! :(

So sorry to hear of Debbie's transition. She was my roommate my freshman year at SMS in Springfield. She changed my life...she was such a spark in the world..that she ignited others--that was she did for me! We lost contact and just caught up about 12 years ago..then lost contact again. I did have a chance to tell her how much she helped me. I know her bright Spirit is traveling with great spark through the "next"! My sympathies to all who loved her..

I know at some side line in heaven there is a bright young woman beaming with pom poms in her hands. I will always think of that bright kind smile that was a constant. I feel fortunate to have known her in our high school days.
She will live in all our memories. My condolences to the family.

Debbie's was truly a life well-lived. What fond memories for those of us who were blessed to call her "friend." Our thoughts are with her children, Bill, and the whole family.

I have been extremely saddened since hearing of Debbie's passing. I had known her since 2nd grade at Roesland when we were in the same Brownie Troop. Lots of great memories. She and I had been in touch now and then through the last 12 or so years. My thoughts are with her family.

Just learning of Debbie's passing and so sad to know that. We went back to first grade at Roesland thru fun days at SMN. Always a warm, bubbly and enthusiastic hello for everyone she met. She took after her beautiful mother, who greeted us in the Roesland cafeteria for lunch every day. Debbie will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
