Deb was a wonderful person who loved her Dog truman. We often greeted each other near Emmaus Park. So sorry to hear of her loss. Cynthia Sopka

Cindy,
My sincere condolences to you and your family. Your sister and I were best of friends in jr. high and high school....spending summers at the pool in my back yard, mixing our concoction of baby oil and iodine seeing who could get the darker tan. She was my maid of honor 46 years ago and then godmother to my son Mark.....I remember we used to walk to the Lehigh shopping center from your house on Drury Lane, did Y-teens together....I taught her to drive "stick" when she got her first Audi back in the "70's".....she had bought the car and had no idea how it worked so I drove her home from the dealership and then commenced on lessons . Her reference to the "parents" were Don and Dot....and Millie....but not in a disrespectful way. We moved a half hour north of Bethlehem back in the 80's and lost contact with her....we did connect a few times and the last time was when your Father passed.
Hold all your memories of her close to your heart.....be they good or bad.
She is with her "soulmate" Fred....he was good for her
Rest in peace my friend ....Debra Esther Guth

Deb was a delightful but tough gal, lovely yet stubborn, fun but still bossy. I'm proud that we were sisters! God Bless you Deb. I will miss you until we meet again. Love you so very much.

I have always considered Deb and Fred my friends over many years! I know personally they'll be missed but they will be reunited! Have spent many special days and evening at the "farm " staring in 7th grade with Freddie and it was his parents home! fond memories of all that over a life time! Certainly they'll be greatly missed by all!
