Thanking you all for your kind, words, thoughts and memories of Debbie. I know how much we will miss her. Her giving nature touched a lot of us.

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Debra when I cared for her mom at People Care. Debra was a kind and loving daughter. She was very supportive and appreciative of the care given to Hazel. She had a wonderful sense of humor. I was sorry to lose contact with her. Prayers for her family and friends.

Debbie and I did our SOTC training together in Windsor for 5 weeks. Every Sunday we would meet at Timmies and she would hop in and drive through crazy weather to get there. We had a lot of fun!! She will be greatly missed. Condolences to Ben and the rest of the family.

The world has lost one of the kindest, sweetest souls. I will so miss hearing her light hearted greeting "Well, hello young lady!" It is so sad to lose such a bright light. See you on the other side Deb. I miss you already.

~ Bernadette Chinneck

My deepest condolences to Ben and family. I was shocked to hear that Debbie was sick and then passed. We always had great times in the London office. Debbie had a beautiful spirit.

~ Barbara Mailer

At times like this, words seem so inadequate. Someone as specials as Debbie will not be forgotten. Debbie and I had so many happy times at work and outside of work, far too many years to count. I have such wonderful memories that will live on forever in my heart. Ben, I am thinking of you and so sorry for your loss.

~ Patti McIntyre

This news is so sad. Debbie was the first person who welcomed me at the London office. She was warm, kind and fun to be around. My condolences to her family.

~ Monica Gillis

I worked with Debbie when I lived in London. We had a lot of good times. She always liked it when I would bring in peanut butter squares or butter tarts. My condolences to her family.

~ Kathy Davidson

I had the pleasure of working with Debbie and remember her as one of the nicest people I have met. Gone too soon. My sincerest condolences to the family.

~ Liz Garcea

I have such wonderful memories of Deb when we worked together, as well as outside of work. We'd have so much fun when we wennt out of town for meetings or conferences. I would drive from Windsor and pick up Deb, she was always my navigator and we had some adventures on the drive! She is one of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure to know. My deepest condolences to Ben and family. Rest well my friend.

~ Cheryl Larmour

Our paths nay not have crossed a lot over the years, but my fond memories of our time together will be cherished. You were always such a kind and compassionate person, who will be missed. We WILL meet again.
