I wish to send my condolences to Clay Burchill. Although Debbie (what we called her in college) and I lost touch I was sorry to read of her passing in the newspaper. We were Sigma Kappa sorority sisters at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and my friendship with Debbie those four years made my college experience much happier.
Sincerely,
Clare (Weaver) Sheaffer
We are so sorry about Deb. She was a super friend who was thoughtful, charming, independent and fun. She was caring towards all her pets and enjoyed making them special family members. We will miss her company especially during the holidays and her fabulous July 3rd parties. We still tell stories about vacations in Ocean City, Disney World, Tahoe and Houston. She will always be in our thoughts and hearts. Clay – Whatever we can do for you, please call. You are the love of her life.
With great sympathy,
TC and Bob
