Debby and three friends from The Greens showed up at the Dante Hall on Wilson Road to learn Italian; they subsequently joined the Club for awhile--don't know how much Italian anyone learned, but everyone had a blast! That's where I first met Deb.  
Restare in pace, amica! 

When I moved to Bakersfield in 2002, while waiting for my house to be built, I received a phone call from Debby. She said "do you like to shop?"and when I answered Yes! She said Good!, I will pick you up 

tomorrow, and there she was in her VW the next morning, and off we went , on a wonderful adventure, which began as Toodleing Tuesdays, quickly extending to the entire week. We became close friends, enjoying so many wonderful times together. I will miss you dear Debby, you were always so kind to me, and I was truly blessed to have had your friendship. I will remember you always, with Love 

I met Debbie while going to Stephens Jr High on the Westside of Long Beach.  In those days we all had big ratted hair and Debbie was no exception.  I graduated from LB Poly with Debbie and always remember she was a force to be reconned with.  You Definetly wanted to be friends with her.  Like just about everyone we lost contact and found each other on FB through our mutual love for dog rescue and dogs.  I know she loved her two dogs so very much.  I will always remember how she was so strong in will and spirit and I always looked forward to her posts.

I will miss you, until we meet again.  Rest in Peace sweet lady.

I first met Debby when I move to Long Beach in fifth grade and went to Garfield elementary.  She became my friend and I was so grateful that she did.  Even way back then she was known as a tough girl that didn't take crap from anyone  I moved away from the Westside  and reconnected when we went to Poly.  My best story about Debby is what I have shared many times when asked if I'd ever been in a fight.  I knew God was watching over me because on that day it was the first time Debby had ever walked home with me from school.  I was surrounded by about 10 girls from the Westside with chains who wanted to beat me up over a boy.  It took just one threat from Debby and they left. She had such a strong but sweet spirit. After our 40th class reunion Debby and I became Facebook friends and I have enjoyed following her.  I will miss her. I will see you again my friend!
