Paul and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know prayers will be said for all of you. Take Care. Debbie
My heart aches for your loss- Debbie and I worked many nursing shifts together and she always made those times more pleasant than they would have been- she was a little ray of sunshine/her creativeness was a real blessing as she’d dress up her locker with pretty pictures of the family- may God bless you all.

Rest easy Debbie. Thank you for your many years in nursing.
I’ll never forget the many shifts we shared on 2 South at St. Mary’s. I learned a lot from Debby. Her sense of humor got us through many tough shifts. Prayers and sincere condolences to Paul and the rest of the family.
