Debby and I worked together for many years at Hunton & Williams, and coincidentally, retired at the same time! We kept in touch a bit over the years. She was such a a funny, vivacious woman. I'm so glad she's at peace now. She endured a lot for many years.

Debby was such a great woman! She taught me about southern charm and I lived hearing her stories about her life as a singer. I'm grateful that she was there for for us when the grandkids came along, she was a wonderful Gigi. Love you forever
