Debbie and I became good friends since our time together at E&Y New Haven. I remember I met her fresh out of college when she greeted me with “sit down rookie you have got a lot to learn” . She kept David and Bill and I in stitches when she would stop by several times a day and told us jokes and the latest gossip about others in the firm. I coached her on the EY softball team where I got to see her competitive side but our favorite part after an hour of softball was the 3-4 hours of beers we would share afterwards telling stories and having a great time. At that time my dog ( a little Bichon) had seven puppies and Deb would love to come over and lay on the floor and let the puppies pile in on her. She would giggle and laugh as only she could do.

She meant the world to so many people and I was certainly one of them. Everything she did had an intensity to it, a positive infectious energy that she brought to every interaction. 

Family was so important to Debbie and I know she was so proud of hers. I will miss her greatly but always think back on her with a smile. Prayers to all that loved her.

In remembering my dear niece Debbie, I remember her being a beautiful little girl with a forever smile on her little face.  Watching her grow and become the wonderful person she was brought many happy memories.  She deeply loved her four special siblings and her dear parents.  When Debbie became a mom to her two beloved sons, she  truly beamed with a heartful of  love, joy and pride.  She devoted her whole life to these precious little guys.  She emulated the love, dedication and loyalty of her own dear mom.  To all her precious family,  now we can all  pray to her instead of for her.  She's in God's beautiful heaven  and she'll be listening.  Listen closely for her answer.

We send our deepest sympathy and love.
