To the family and friends of Debbie, I am so sorry for your loss and wish I had the words to express myself right now. I only knew Debbie for a brief time but could tell that she was a special person. I hope that you find healing and love during these times. Words don't feel enough right now and if there is anything I can do to help please let me know. 

Debbie, you'll live in our memories forever.

In the short time I knew Debbie she became someone I truly looked up to and went to for guidance and advice, whether it was career oriented or the latest shopping trends. Debbie never failed to make others feel heard or seen, always putting others before herself and somehow managing to juggle it all with the brightest smile. Debbie had such a positive influence on everyone she met with her contagious, bubbly personality and caring, beautiful soul. Truly one of a kind, I will miss you dearly Debbie, rest in peace.

CALIFORNIA WITH UNCLE FRANK AND AUNT JOANNA 

You ARE such a bright part of our lives, Debbie. We love you so much. 

Debbie, From the first time we interacted, you had me. Your infectious smile and beautiful eyes told me everything I needed to know, so patient even though I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, but you smiled and said “It’s Ok.” I remember you were worried because you were new to the job. But you exceeded all our expectations, I knew you were just what our team needed to succeed. You helped us so much, even with difficult circumstances that were beyond your control, and yet you remained calm and steadfast and was so patient. Truly a pleasure to work with. I pray for your family and friends who knew you best. I am so sorry for their loss of such a wonderful, beautiful, inspiring person. RIP

My deepest condolences to Debbie's family and friends.

I worked with Debbie on a daily basis at Honeywell.  She was a sweet lady, always a pleasure to be around.  She was a very hard worker, and a key leader on our SIGI programs.  We will miss her very much.

Sincerely,

Gus Cutting

Thinking of you during this time.  You are in my prayers.  'The Lord is close to the broken-hearted'.  I am so sorry for your loss.

The short time we worked together at Honeywell,  Debbie was always a positive role model within our team and an asset to the programs we worked on. She will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers to her family during these times. 

My sincere condolences to Debbie's family and Friends from the Honeywell family.  Working alongside her was always easy, easy because she cared deeply about the quality of her work and knew how important her role was to everyone. We helped eachother out a lot,  she kept me honest, and was a phenomenal teammate.  I'm really going to miss our friendly banter and being able to laugh through the stresses of our job. She had a friend in me and I'm truly going to miss her. 

My deepest condolences to Debbie's friends and family. I worked with Debbie at Honeywell as her SIGI Quality Technician.  She was always professional, prompt and friendly and somehow managed to keep on top of a million things at once.  I will miss her wit, friendship, smile and support.  To say I am lost without her is a great understatement.  Rest in peace my friend.  You will be forever remembered and forever missed.  

Our sincere condolences to Debbie's family on behalf of the Honeywell SIGI team. Debbie was an extremely valuable member of our team and will be sorely missed.  She was very respected and her work exemplified quality.  We could always count on her not just to do the right thing but do it with sense of urgency and see the work through completion and with self motivation.  The fruits of her work live on in the defense of our Nation in ways I cannot write here, but your family's lives may very well depend on it. It also lives on with cutting edge Spacecraft in support of NASA missions such as Sierra Space's DreamChaser, Northrop's Cygnus capsule, JAXA's HTV capsule, and the future European Space Agency's SpaceRider spacecraft. Farewell Debbie, we are very proud to have worked with you.

Debbie was one of the kindest people I knew, always caring deeply for others. She loved fiercely and was a loyal friend. Her friendship to me in high school was such a gift.

Debbie was the kind of person who could make you laugh while carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Universally loved by everyone who knew her.

I loved being Debbi's Spanish teacher at Calvary (not that I taught her anything new but I loved the time we spent together). Here's us with Julianne at graduation. My deepest condolences. Love, Mrs. Lisa Clarke (aka Profe Lizano back in this day)
