Nothing can separate love - it is beyond physical presence. I think that everyone who knew Deb will always feel that she is with them. She was one of the strongest and bravest people I have ever known, and I will also always remember her feisty spirit and kind heart. I have many great memories of her and will miss her terribly. Deepest sympathy at this difficult time. Susan and Mike Coulson
