Always a Debra, never a Deborah or Debbie! What an amazing friend for over 35 years. She always made me feel like I was her best friend. Debra and I shared our love of travel and adventure. She always had a sense of calmness about her that I always admired when I did not. She taught me a lot about life and I will miss her dearly. Rebekah Basquette

Jacob & Laura,
Deeply sorry for your loss! I worked with your mom for almost 9 years at Nawas. She was an awesome person! I loved our chats at her desk!! She will be greatly missed by many! Def by me. Her smile, kindness & swapping stories (many of her's of her beloved children!) made many of my days at work. My heart is saddened by her being taken way too soon!
I will always cherish her in my heart!

I met Debra with Amy in Hoboken, New Jersey many, many years ago.
I always remember that they both had long leather coats.
I feel very sad. Robert Yeo

Jacob & Laura:
I worked with your Mom at Nawas for almost 10 years, and am just devastated by her passing. She was a very special woman, taken from us far too soon.
My deepest condolences to you both.

I remember getting a call from A Winnie that she had another girl. My Dad, her brother, loved her so much, as she was the only girl in a family of boys. I used to love visiting with the Benson's because A Winnie used to have dolls ready for us to play with. Deb was such a beautiful bride.
Our thoughts & prayers are with all the family
Love, Lorraine Ken, Heidi, Michelle & Derek

Debra's smile and wit is greatly missed. It has been a priviledge to work with her these many, many years.
My heart and prayers are with you all.
