To the Osborne Family;
I have neve met you but remember Deb talking fondly about her parents, brothers, nieces and nephews. I had the privilege to work with Debbie for many years at Danbury Hospital. Beyond the walls of the hospital, we discovered that we both vacationed in west dennis on the Cape less then a mile from each other!
Deb helped me through some hard times. I left Danbury 5 years ago but we kept in touch. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Heaven has a new angel, there is no question.
I am so sorry you have lost her she was a wonderful person.
My thoughts and prayers are with you

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Osborne, Ossie III, Gary and Dave, my deepest condolences for your loss. Debbie, (Slinky as those of us on the team nicknamed her at DHS) will be missed by numerous people, as she touched the lives of so many. I remember good times Debbie had some of the "team" over to your house on Apple Blossom Lane in Danbury, Gary and Dave were just little guys then. Debbie helped to build memories that last a lifetime as a true friend. Dance with the Angels above the clouds overhead Debbie.
