Wonderful fond memories of Debbie, Mrs Jay..and the entire Jay family. Debbie was indeed my best friend in childhood and those memories are with me still. We had many adventures, and much joy. May her soul rest in peace. Francine

Debbie was my closest childhood friend..back fence neighbors..for better and for worse (her broken arm from scaling the fence!). My life was so enriched, being part of the Jay family! Such fond memories!Those early Buffalo roots keep calling me home!

I was honored to meet Danny and Lauren when Debbie came to Denver for the Day of Caring 6 years ago. My daughter Allegra and I got to visit Debbie and Dan..and so the circle lives on.

Mt heart and prayers go out to the Curtin/Jay...

I knew Debbie as my boss and friend of 10 years. She taught me so much thru her inner strength and compassion for everyone. She was a remarkable woman, who always looked at the bright side of every situation. I will always miss her. My thoughts and prayers go to Dan and her children (family)

We knew Debbie as a woman of incredible strength, dignity, and grace. Even in the last several months, she always offered a warm greeting over the backyard fence – without a hint of complaint about her illness. Our life is richer for having known her. We’ll miss her…and we’ll remember her.

Debbie was one of those rare people who really makes the world a better place. She took her illness as a chance to help others. I know that she was a great friend to me when both my mother and I went through Cancer and served as an inspiration to me through it all. Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. The world lost one of the good ones.

Debbie was my sister in law and very special friend. I have known her since she was 14 years old and she was always an amazing person. She was so beautiful, fun loving and kind.The courage she has shown fighting her breast cancer was unparalleled. She is truly my hero. You, Debbie, will live in my heart forever. I love you. My condolences are with your family and friends. Cheri Morton

Dan, Lauren & family,
I've known Debbie for over 24 years and have shared laughter, hope, wisdom, books and life with her. Her spirit and her friendship will always remain with me. My world and the world of so many others will be smaller without her in it. My very sincerest condolences to you at this difficult time.

Dear Curtin and Jay families,
I just want you all to know how lucky I feel to have known Deb. As I told some of our fellow classmates, Debbie and I spent many double dates together in High School - so much fun so long ago. And then we renewed and reconnected our friendship over the past few years with "ladies" lunches and dinners.
She was gracious, beautiful, and courageous in her battle against breast cancer, as she was with whatever she believed in. I am proud to have known her...

Her strength, courage, wisdom, humor and love inspired us all and continues to do so. She will be lovingly remembered always. My condolences to the family.
