It's been a long time since I've seen Deb. I remember her laugh, her love for her daughter, camping, get togethers,swimming. She was a kind fun loving free spirit. Hugs to all!

I wonder if this is the same Deb henderson I knew from the early 70s.
I was just thinking of her yesterday and am very saddened today.
My condolences to her family.
