I was so very saddened to learn of Deborah’s passing. While we were not close after university, I cherish all those years of being roommates and our high school years. I don’t think she had a mean bone in her and she will be missed my many, including myself.
Passing along my condolences to Laura, David, Doug, Tim and their families during this incredibly difficult time.
I will forever think of Deb when I pass by a Home Hardware or use a reusable paper towel. Rest in peace old friend.

Deborah (Not Debbie) was my childhood best friend; Sailor Moon, Barbie, 80’s music, love of ALL animals, Girl-guides, birthday parties, Disney, Looney toons, and cartoons on Saturdays and more. I’ve missed her everyday because we lost touch over the years and she remains in my heart now and forever. I speak of you kindly and often to friends.
Goodbye, My Friend (Lots of Love & Hearts)
