We were saddened to learn of Deb’s passing. While we only knew you both a short time, we considered you to be our "friends." I can only imagine the loss and heart-ache you are all feeling right now.
We will miss Deb (and her chocolate-covered strawberries!). Please know that you all are in our hearts, our minds, and our prayers.
