What a lovely person Debbie was! I met Debbie at FMH, she was my mentor in making me a great unit clerk as we were known as. Her laughter was a joy to hear. May the wonderful memories comfort the family at this time.

I´m deeply saddened by the news about Debbie. I enjoyed working with her at the hospital. Her passing has shown me to not put off those check in phone calls until another day. It holds true that we are not promised tomorrow. She was a fun and exciting lady. We shared many jokes and laughs. I would like to express my sympathy to her amazing family. May God be with everyone of you.

Dear Family,
I worked at FEC ... my greasy memory will be her listening to music, singing, doing her moves all while " washing the dishes" as I´d say to her... will miss her as sure you will. Know she is probably having a blast now !
Blessing to you all.
God Bless ,
