“I honestly cannot remember Deb without also remembering her laughing; every meeting with Deb was a good meeting, because no matter how serious the topic, there would be smiles and humour from her. In this way, Deb was like the sun: warm and sustaining in her always being ready to help! She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. My deepest condolences to her sons and mother; may she live on in your memories.”
