On behalf of the Pennington family, I'd like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends who have been so blessed to know Debbie. I am grateful to have known her. I am even more grateful to know that she was a friend to my grandmother Marian near the end of her life. I imagine they are telling stories and having strawberry shakes together and smiling down on us. Peace to all.
