Tonight I looked for Debbie on the internet again, something I've been doing on and off for years. I am so sad that after all these years I found her too late. My deepest sympathies to you Trudy (Mrs. P) and your family. Debbie, the West side, Res and Trinity, so many memories..... I loved her and missed her in my life and always hoped that I would get a chance to see her again. My sincere condolences to all your family. Nora Kedziorski (Nonie Esterlen-Gladys Avenue)

So on cold winter mornings at year-end, when I would wander in to find you already sitting at your desk you would tell me how beautiful the sunrise was - rising between the two buildings. I would assure you I was happy to leave the sunrise watching task to you and we'd laugh. Now I will always remember you with the sunrise and be grateful for your humor and the time we shared.

You remind us all it is not so much what we do as who we are that matters. Thank you for being you ... irreplaceable. You have enriched the lives of those who have known you and it is in the gifts you've left behind that we find the strength to continue.

May God bless you and those you love during this transition. Our bodies may give way, but love surely endures forever.

Thanks Deb for your generosity of spirit.
