David: I never met you, but certainly knew of you. To learn of Debbie's passing from my cousin Tim McWhannel was quite shocking to me - I had never known that she was ill. My contact with her was firstly through Beatrice, whom I last saw in 2010, but also through mutual friends in the teaching world - Jane Kominic too. Well I really just want to say how much she touched me - not only in her love and care for her mother, but by the wisdom she possessed and demonstrated in her approach to life. I live in Bangkok now, but my thoughts will be with Debbie, and with you and your family on Monday.

To David and family, my friendship with Debbie was very special, and I'm so sorry we drifted apart. She was incredibly kind and empathetic, and you will miss her very much. Treasure your memories of her. Jenny Sturm
