I haven't seen Debbie in over 20 years. I knew her in the 1989’s when she lived in Pinckney. She got me a temporary job at UMI and was a good friend in that era. Huge condolences to her family.

I met Deb many years ago as a neighbor, but recently got to know her better. Her loving care for her mother made her stand out. She had courage in the face of illness, but kept her joy and sense of fun. I will miss her. God bless and comfort you, Harold.
