I just found out about Debbie's passing while working on Ridgewood High School's 50th Reunion. I am so sorry for your loss ....

To Debra's Family...

I was both a colleage (at the financial services division of Sears in Lincolnshire and then Riverwoods, IL) and then an employer (within my own Employee Benefits concern) of Debra. She was a dear friend as well as GREATLY admired professional for her intelligence, work ethic, Human Resource Management knowledge, and sense of humor. I will greatly miss her.

I've tried to keep in touch with Debra regularly. In fact: I've been trying to connect by email and phone for a bit. I finally (regrettably) googled things and was both surprised and very saddened by today finding that she had passed so soon. I am truly and deeply saddened myself.

Please know that she was HIGHLY respected, professionally. I only regret that factors beyond her control, or my control (i.e. this bad economy) did not provide her the HR opportunities she both well deserved and would have truly excelled in. She was that quality of person.

I will miss her greatly...
