Dear Ann and Patty,

I am speechless. I am sad to have heard of your loss and the loss of a great Tacony resident who's smile and love of life is one that I always looked up to. I know mom and dad were both awfully fond of Debbie and she will be taken care of in Heaven as she will be meeting up with some of the best! I pray for you and your family that you can find some sort of happiness in her passing as she will always be in a better place watching over you - always. If you need anything, you know where to find me. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Anne, Patty and family - May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.... And may you take comfort in the realization that Debbie will ,forever more, be free from the suffering that she was so unfairly dealt... And may you also realize, that while you are here fullfilling the rest of your mortal existence, she will be resting, planning and calculating how she "torture you" when you meet again... We will miss her! Love Barbara and Jim

Deb,
I will miss you. We didn't see each other much but, I thought of you often. My best memories are when we were young and would have sleep overs at Aunt Ada's house. And coming over to your house at Christmas.
I know you are out of pain now. You are with your Pop and Noni. I also know that Aunt Vi, Aunt Mary and your grandmother Ada are making a big fuss over you. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,

Debbie,
I will miss my fellow German. You are one of a kind and cannot be replaced. Whenever I am sad I will think of one of your witty remarks.

To Debbie's family
I want to express my deepest sympathy to all of her family and friends, of which she had many, on her passing. I hope she has found peace. I worked at GA with Debbie. I was always impressed by her sense of responsibility to her job. I loved her sense of humor, and the way she lived her life helped me to appreciate that going forward and getting on with it is the best way to live.
Sincerely,

Joe Costello

Deb, I will miss your great Spirit and upbeat attitude. I will miss our Star Trek talks over who was the better captain, Kirk or Picard. I will never forget that you called me from your hospital bed to offer me condolences when Frank passed last month. But, that was you. Always taking care of your family and friends because "what they were going through was more important than anything you had going on". Just one of the many reasons you will be so missed. I Love you Sweetie!
