    My sincere condolences to the family. I’ll always remember Debbie’s contagious smile and laugh. I’ll always remember her giving spirit. Debbie was always willing to help others and I know she’s doing exactly that, helping others, wearing a sharp ass white dress in heaven.

    Wow!! I’m at a loss for words. Debbie was a friend and coworker at APAC. She was loud, crazy, and always ready for a good time. I remember she came to my house once with some friends and we had some drinks. She will be missed!! Thank you, for the laughs and talks my friend
