I'm glad I got to know Debbie! We were of the same community for many years! I worked at the Heritage in Bridgeport with Debbie for about a year and that's when I got to know her on a personal level! One of her favorite saying to me was “Can you dig it?” She is at peace with her life living on through her children and grandchildren! Your friend Bernice Bliss
