    We are saddened to hear of Ms. Deb’s passing. I enjoyed chatting with Ms. Deb as we were doing duty-day together at Nursery School when my kids attended. She always stopped to chat when we met up town and when I gave her a ride home, most recently this summer as a big rain storm started.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

    To Deb’s entire family: Our sincere condolences to you all. Deb was a wonderful lady who would make anyone smile. She would call our place and just want to chat or ask if someone could bring something over to her – just so she could have a visit. She was a dear friend of my mom Kathy’s. Mom just went to see her this Tuesday and had a lovely visit. This time of year is so hard when you lose a loved one. Cherish all of the memories, know that you are in our thoughts.

    Although… time, distance, and obligations have kept us apart in our latter years of life…..All I can think of is memories… such wonderful childhood memories. Playing “Barbies” outside at the cottage at Mallory Beach… with the waves hitting the shore in the back ground. Waking up in the bedroom at that same cottage….listening to the rain on the roof… reading a Nancy Drew.. or Hardy Boy book. Watching Deb run down the Aisle of the old Theatre in town… yelling out to me that the cute boy in the lobby was looking at her. Mooning together over the Osmonds… Donny for her and Jay for me….Wandering the aisles of the old antique shop on the shore of Colpoys Bay…. Thank you for all of this Deb…thank you for those Blessed memories that helped to shape me into the person I am today. God Bless
