Deb's spirit is with us today because this kind and gentle person is impossible to forget. The privilege of knowing Debbie is one of our department's (I worked with her) most cherished memories. Memories of her cheerfulness and simply love for all are attributes she left for us to emulate, so that we may become better people. Thank you, Deb, for giving us all these gifts.
