Deborah Hawkins

Debbie was a dear friend to me and my Mom, Lillian Hiser. I’m so sorry that I didn’t get to see her before you lost her. She was a special friend. She visited us here in Lee, MA. We helped her through her divorce and watched her bloom at Smith College. We helped with her apartment in Pittsfield and living her new life. I will truly miss her. She was a very sweet person and wonderful nurse. Love you Debbie!!

Deborah, you brought so much love and joy into our lives. Please know that your blithe spirit will live on in our memories forever. You earned your rest in peace, dear one.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers and peace to your family.

Deborah was so extraordinarily gifted, knowledgeable, kind, wonderfully outgoing, giving, supportive to all, and just full of every social human grace. Whether kayaking the Fire-Waters in Providence, sailing the turbulent waters of Buzzards Bay, or fighting the headwinds along the Cape Cod Canal on their bicycle-built-for-two, life and joy was always such a passion for both Tom and Debbie. Our sincere sympathy to Tom and all the extended family. Sharon and Kevin Burke
