  1. Debbie,
    As you fly with God’s angels, keep an eye on the rest of us. Our GRB Class of 72 hs been fortunate to have had you helping with all of our class reunions. You made a difference in many people’s lives and I enjoyed our Christmas card exchange over the years. I will miss hearing from you and the news of Fulton.
    Blessings, Joy Okoniewski Allen

  2. Debbie,
    You cared and did so much for others…wish you had worried more about yourself. Only the good die young? May you rest in peace…you deserve it.

  4. Debbie,
    Words cannot express how sad it is that you are no longer with us. I know you no longer feel the pain you have suffered for so many years, and you are deserving of that. After all these years, I only got to really know you while planning the last two reunions. I want to thank you for your “huge” contribution that always made our class reunions a success! You will be greatly missed!!!
    Rest in Peace
    Linda

  5. We always assume we’ll all live forever and ever and before we know it one of us leaves never to return. My memory goes back to Worth St. and you and Darlene being my first best friends. We had so much fun putting on shows on your porch. You always dressed in red and Darlene in blue. As we grew up we grew apart each our own ways but I’ll never forget listening to Chipmunk records,playing croquet and playing in the back lot. You always excelled in high school and the last time i saw you was our 20th class reunion and so many memories came flooding back. May you be happy with the angels and i too am glad you no longer suffer. With love Reta
