I just learned of Deb's passing and I am so sad. While our friendship was fairly short- we only met when she was working at the fire house- it was always a fun time. It is hard to believe that just one year ago Deb and I were dancing on stage with the band at the fire company- what a great night we had! Deb was courageous, kind and a great fiend to many. And she made a great cosmo!
I miss her and wish her peace...
My sincere condolences to her family- she really loved you!
