Deb had a laugh that would shake the earth! She was a dedicated person and took her job seriously. I loved when she had a few moments and would chat in the driveway. A caring, loving, down to earth gal! Hey girl! I miss you every day! Party hearty in heaven! You are much missed here on earth. Luv ya! Sandy
