To the Sparrow family,
In trying to locate Tri Delta sisters for a reunion this summer, an alum learned about Debbie's passing away this past May. Though I did not know the special person she was because I had graduated, please know I was greatly saddened to learn her life ended much too soon. Please find comfort knowing we will share memories and offer a moment of silence in her name.
With Tri Delta love,
Sally(Devereux)Ellms '70

Dear Rod, Stacey, Tobey, Dr. and Mrs. Curtis and families,
We are still numb from the news about Debbie. Her death is a monumental loss - and years and years premature. At the very least Debbie's spirit and influence will live on in each one of you, and it's obvious that Stacey and Tobey already personify their Mom's kind ways. No one will ever forget Debbie.
We're praying for your lasting strength and God's protection at this very tough time. Take care of each other.
With Love,
Diane, Peter, and family

Dr and Mrs Curtis and rest of Debbie's family -- I went to school with Debbie in Hudson. I was especially touched when Debbie contacted me some years ago when she was planning a trip to Portugal and Madeira to visit the homeland of her ancestors. She let me know how much she enjoyed her trip.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss and I hope the good memories will see you through this difficult time. May God Bless you all.

Dear Sparrows-all - How saddened I am to learn of your great loss. Debbie was such a bright light in our needlepoint classes - always ready with a smile and humorous story about Lulu's latest antics. She was so courageous and brave these last few months - bouying up all of us around her with her positive attitude. We shall miss her greatly. Phyllis Gleason

My deepest sympathy on your loss. I can still remember when I first met Debbie when we opened the Acton Talbots store. She was truly a bright light and her smile just lit up the room and made everyone happy. As you know we were a close group and we all loved working with Debbie.
