Debbie and I were good friends at Blessed Sacrament! She loved rock collecting and stone polishing. She kept a bulletin board with all of her favorite things posted on it. Once a stranger gave her a paper flower, or some other little momento. She had that pinned on that Bulletin Board and loved the sentiment behind it. RIP Debbie, I enjoyed being your friend.

I found some pics of Debbie in my old high school collection and posted them under my profile for now. I couldn't see a way to add them here. She was such a sweet and beautiful young woman...a life cut too short.
