Debbie entered my life as an employee, who quickly became a friend. Her heart of gold and her selflessness made working together easy and much more enjoyable. She would notice me stressed out and brought ME flowers. Always looking out for others. I am heart sick with the loss of her in my life. I Love you, Sweet Lady, and will never forget you.
Wishing all the best for her family.
