Debra Eisert

It's still hard to believe she is gone. Praying for the family as they continue to grieve.

Debra was a guiding light to so many people. It was my privelege to have known her as a friend and colleague. Through all of us she mentored, her work in autism will live on.

I was saddened to read about Debi's death in the Oregonian. I was privileged to work with Debi as both a practicum student at UO, as well as being an intern at CDRC/Portland, and meeting in Eugene or Portland for conferences or learning from her while working on a case. She was an incredibly kind and thoughtful woman. Whenever I saw her, I was always met with a smile. When she asked me how I was, it was with true sincerity that she asked it from. Whether I just said "OK", or launched into...

Condolences from Erik, Grace and William Henden. Debra was an amazing person and will be greatly missed!

John and I are very sadden by the passing of a sweet, lovely, wonderful cousin. She will be missed. In the early years of my relationship with her cousin, John Emra, I met her and she made me feel so welcomed into the family. Her warmth made me feel loved and cared for. I will miss you Debra.

We're thinking of you in this hard time.

I met Debi when I joined Emmaus church after just getting a divorce in 1999. I had a sweet two year old son at the time. Debi was kind to us from that day forward. She was an amazing person. We volunteer together at church, she helped me celebrate many new things in my since we met. When my older son was struggling she was their to listen or given me advice. Then in 2014 I started working at the CDRC and we shared moments now as coworkers. Debi will me missed! Love you! Prayers to your...

Debbie was inspiring.
