Deb was an inspiration to me. I knew her many years and walked with her through her struggles. We laughed and cried together knowing what she was facing. She was one very strong woman, dug her heels in when things got tough and endured. She came to work when most would have given up and called it quits. She a very special woman and I am thankful that she had a place in my life. I will miss her greatly. My prayers go out to her family in this trying time. Just remember that she loved you all, more than you will ever know. She was tough on the outside but on the inside had a heart of gold. So long my friend, now you can rest with no more suffering. Lisa
