    I miss her. I was waiting for her retirement so she could come to Virginia Beach and spend weeks at a time. I miss her holiday cards with her years adventures. Love you Deb. Until we meet again..

    I miss seeing you every weekend at work, sharing our "adventures" together, and sharing pet treats and gifts for our fur-babies. I'll miss your smile and your reprimand "Don't give him that, he's diabetic" while you're sneaking him a piece of candy! Your quick wit and snarky sense of humor made shifts much more fun! Cooper will miss his special treats from "Aunt Debbie" and now I'll have to find a new "Dealer" for my Trader Joe's tea. Rouf always teased that you kept me "stalked up" on tea. There's so many things I'm going to miss! Until we meet again, I'll keep you in my heart! Love you!

    Debbie came for a visit to Phoenix, AZ couple of years ago, and my sister Suzy and I took her on a road trip to Tombstone, Benson, and finally Old Tucson. We had a blast and wished the trip could have been longer. Showing her the parts of AZ that she'd never seen before really made her trip. She will be missed....

    Dear Schneider Family, My deepest condolences for for your loss. Debbie and her mother Virginia use to take my mother Joan to various functions over the years including ISDA . Although my mother wasn't Italian she enjoyed going to these events because of the kindness of Debbie and her mother. Because my mother had walking issues, Debbie would always help her into the car. Just a good person. God Bless! Marc Pechak
