I am in absolute shock. How can one of the pillars of my personal and professional life be gone so quickly Debbie has been my friend for nearly 21 years now and I know I, and the entire community. will deeply miss her. She has dedicated years of her life to making community connections to help provide all children with social and emotional support and whatever else was needed to allow them to succeed at school and in life. She has been a ray of sunshine in my life...always greeting me with a smile and warm word and continually reminding me of the best of humanity simply through her example. My prayers go to Alvin and her family at this time.
