There are no words that can appropriately express my sorrow for your loss, but I can only hope that time which is a great healer will give you the peace that you seek.
We worked together for MN and she was a good friend.
May she rest in peace.

Thoughts and Prayers to Debbie's family. Debbie was a very special High School friend who I remember so fondly. She always had that sweet smile on her face and it made you want to smile too. Gone way too soon, but may she rest in peace.
