Debbie and I go back to grade school at St. Mike's. We often talked about nursing at the Watterson reunions, in fact, just this past one in 2008, we're next to each other in the class picture. My condolences to her family on her sudden passing. May you find strength and peace in the days ahead.

I remember all through grade shcool and high shcool Debbie as always being warm, kind and compassionate. God's peace be with you in the days ahead as you learn to be without her gracious spirit.
