    I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Debbie for 10 years at Blue Cross, but even more fortunate to become friends. She was truly a wonderful, caring person and her personality shined. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are being sent to her family and friends.
