Chas, Judie and I are so sorry to hear of your loss of Debby. She was truly a great person, and I can say an excellent employee. I remember the going away party held for the two of you when you left for N C so many years ago. She was far too young to pass away! We spend our winters in N Ft Myers now....so, if you ever get near here, we would love to go over many fond memories and stories....like when you got in trouble over ordering flowers.
