We were so very sorry to hear of Deb’s passing. Just found out today so we were unable to attend the service. We had many great times with Deb at the Riverside and she went on an Atlantic city trip with us. We always talked about having her along with us again but sadly it didn’t happen. Deepest condolences to your family and to her other friends. We will miss seeing her and talking with her. We pray your good memories of her will help to comfort you at this difficult time. Deb and Pat Busser

I was shocked to say the least. I am so glad Deb and I reconnected last year. She was a dear friend and we somehow lost touch. I was so happy that we spent time together recently. A cookout at her house during a crazy storm, followed by yatzee and lots of reminiscing. I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
