Dear Mary,
I was so heartbroken to read this. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
She was very much like an older sister to me as we were growing up because she always picked on me and gave me a hard time. Loved it!
My deepest sympathies to you and the family as you go through this most difficult time.

Deb graduated from Lafayette HS in Buffalo, NY, in 1974 and went to work for the New York Telephone Company that same year. In 1984, it became NYNEX. She was a draft engineer when she retired. Rest in love and fly high. I would love to thank Travis, Mary, Nikki, and Michael for their love and support to Deb and Karin Ann.

Deb was a gem . Despite enduring years of physical suffering she found humour kindness and joy in every day.
She was brave, but mostly funny. She cared for her parents and in turn Karen cared for her. As did the Lodge staff. All my patients were special, but Deb planted the seeds of kindness and humour that never ceased to brighten my life. Onward brave soldier. Your work on earth is done. The Creator has a plan for you and you will be free. Well done Karen . Dr Andrea East
