    Debbie was a very sweet person I met her at PNB which is now PNC. We worked together for 12 years at fort Duquesne. We shared the same birthday. I was a year older. Debbie was a fighter. She fought a tough battle. She is now in eternity. God bless John and Nicholas. And all the family and friends she touched.
