I just found out about Debbie. I am so sorry. We worked together many years ago at 26th street and we had alot fun and laughs. Debbie was a wonderful woman. We went to Hawaii together and had a blast! She always had a story to tell. May the grace of Debbie give you strength. Rose (Johnson) Wisniewski

Im so shocked to have lost another dear friend and classmate of 1971.It was so great seeing Debbie @ our 40yr 8th grade class reunion. I know we talked about getting together for dinner and drinks, but the time just slipped away and I oh so regret. She will always have a place in my heart. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family.. Peace be with her!!!
