I´m honored to have known Debbie. When I was just starting out as a young engineer in Tallahassee, she was so friendly, caring, and welcoming to me. She was also a very smart and successful lady. My thoughts are with Mike and Ann Marie and the rest of the family as they say goodbye to their beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. Hugs and love to you all.
