I just learned of Debbie's passing away while reading the MPA Magazine. Learning of this hits very close to home. I have very fond memories of Debbie with whom I shared many moments and events with while attending MPA. She was bright, focused and always a delight.

So sadden to hear about your passing Debbie. You were one of the sweetest people I knew. May you rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Deb's family. I lived next door to Deb in Homewood where we became fast friends. She was quick with a smile and a great conversationalist. It had been years since I had seen Deb, but she was and will forever be a part of my fondest memories.

I just wanted to share my sincere condolences and express my personal sadness at the unexpected loss of my beautiful, vibrant friend Debbie. I met Debbie at massage school this Spring and was immediately impressed by her intelligence, warmth, and sense of humor. But perhaps most impressive was the way she shared and lived out her strong faith which I hope brings comfort now to her family & friends. I will deeply miss her beautiful smile & spirit...although I am sad, I am so grateful for the time we spent together & for the many ways she touched my life in such a short time.

My thoughts are with her family. We graduated MPA together.

As a member of Morgan Park Academy Class of 1968, I am saddened to lean of Debbie's passing. I was looking forward to seeing her at our upcoming 50th reunion in September. She was a class leader and valedictorian. As a class, we were all better people from having enjoyed her presence.

Dear Family,
We will be keeping you in our prayers as you mourn the loss of this precious lady. May God comfort you with His presence.

On behalf of my Brother and I, we are so sorry to hear of Debbie’s passing. I remember Debbie from MPA. She was smart, beautiful inside and out. Debbie was a little less than three years older than me. My Brother was a year behind Debbie and knew her well. When our class was between forty and fifty students per grade and around two hundred in the entire high school you knew everyone. Prayers to Debbie’s Family.
