I am so sad to hear about Deborah. My condolences to her family. I worked with Deb at Aramark for several years in the same department. We talked daily. We shared stories and feelings. We had a very real friendship aside from our work relationship. We laughed together mostly. I remember crying with her when she lost Jesse. I shared with her a song by Pink called "Who knew". It reminded me of her and Jesse. How little time we have with our loved ones. God bless you Deborah
