Such a shock to hear of Debbies passing. Our thoughts of heartfelt sympathy go out to all Debs family. Her loyal friendship meant a lot to me in our school days together. She will be greatly missed – what you saw was what you got with Deb and she was always the same, bubbly, lovely person. May you all find solace in your beautlful memories of her.
