Debbie I worked with you at the Elmhurst restaurant for many years. I loved you and think about the fun we had together. You were a special person. I did get to see you shortly before you went to the Lord. I have a music box you gave me and I treasure it today

Dear Tony,
Debbie was my best friend growing up. We lost contact but just found out about her passing online. She was a wonderful girl and she has always been in my thoughts. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I know you made her happy and you were a good husband to her. I am so glad you found each other.

The best couple I have ever known. I only hope that someday I can find half the love they had. Thank

Anthony,

With all my heart I couldn't love you and Debbie anymore than I do. I thank God for all 28 years I had both of you and still have you. She is in peace with Nick, Ma and the rest who went before us. God bless you both always. Love always, Rosemary

Tony,

I worked with Debbie at the restaurant for many many years. I enjoyed the time we spent together. She had a great personality. I wish I would've known just how sick she was, or that she had passed away.I will always have fond memories of Debbie. We will keep both of you in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so happy to read all the entries so far. I knew my aunt was loved by all, but I never really felt the full impact of that love until she passed. It amazes me how many customers, and people she may have only met a few time, really cared about her and knew what an amazing person she was. Of course, I always knew that. She was the best aunt I ever had, and the strongest person I ever knew. She taught me never to be afraid of life, even if death is just around the corner. I love her and miss her. Thanks for all your thoughts.

We knew Debbie since her first day at Elmhurst Restaurant. She saw our son grow from the age of two until now at twenty eight. She was the happiest person I have ever known even through all that she went through the past few years. She will be truly missed until we meet her again.

Thank you to those who wrote,

You are correct, she is at piece now, But the ordeal she went thru for the past two years proved that she was the toughest person I have ever known. I will never forget her, nor will I ever stop loving her, as she was the best thing that ever hapoened to me. I was truly blessed for the 28 years we had together. I know that she will be missed be many as her personality made her loved by all. God Rest Her Soul,we will be together again someday

Debbie was one of the nicest people I ever met. She was always so cheerful and took so much joy in life. I'm very sorry she lost her battle with leukemia. Her smiling face and cheerful spirit will be missed by everyone whose life she touched.
