I first met Deb when she worked for the city in the office. Didn´t seem she ever had a bad day, always met folks with a smile. Our friendship lasted a long time. So sad for Jacob and children.

My deepest sympathies. Deb was a great secretary at Centennial. She always had a laugh & told you just like it was. I enjoyed working with her.
