Ian, Josh, family and friends,
I'll always remember the fun times we had together at family events and gatherings over the years. Debbie was more than a cousin she was a friend. She and my sister, Dianne, were very close. Debbie was a strong individual who faced many medical issues over the years with a fighting spirit and the support of family. Rest in Peace, Deb.

Condolences to the family and friends. Deb & I were classmates, just recently we were chatting about one of the classes we were in, that conversation brought some good laughs for us both. May she R.I.P and continue to watch over her loved ones.
