Oh Debra! I know you're looking down on your 4 amazing grandchildren. You are still talked about so much! I'm sure that your daughters will let their kids know about the woman you were. All the memories of you will keep you alive in so many hearts. Thank you for giving the world two wonderful women, so they could fill the world with four more wonderful people. I think about you every February 28th.

Debbie,
Thank you for all the things you did for me over the five years we worked together. I will miss you. You once told me of two experiences you had when two patients passed through your hands and I could see the belief in your eyes. Rest in peace and comfort in Heaven always Debbie and may your two beautiful daughters always remember how much you loved them and all that you wanted for them.
Love Denise

As neighbors to Grandpa Angelo, and then to your family, our family was sad on hearing of your Mom's passing. She always had a smile and kind word, and her flaming red hair preceded her. If we can do anything for you in your time of grief, please don't hesitate to call or ask.

To an outsider Debbie was common. People will read her obituary in the newspaper and not think twice about what they have read because it sounds ordinary. But a life cannot be summed up in a couple hundred words. A life is defined by the people who know you and remember you and love you, and for the impact you had on them. Debra made quite an impact. She had the most noble calling of all, which cannot be defined by a job title. She had riches beyond measure, which cannot be summed up on a bank statement. And by any standard, Debra was a very successful woman.
I know. I was Debbie's boss. Her job title, patient care associate; her profession, caring. She took, being a nursing assistant, very seriously. She was very proud of the fact that she was a "certified" nursing assistant. She had very strong feelings about the job she did and took her work very seriously. Her work, her calling, her job, her profession was to care. Jean Watson, a famous nursing theorist, teaches nursing as a caring profession. If she knew Debbie, she could have held her up as a shining example of one who cares. She cared about the hospital in which she worked and where her parents died. She was an ambassador for St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital and wanted it to be the best it could be. She cared about it's reputation. She cared about the unit she worked on, CCU,and wanted that to be the best it could be as well. She was part of a team. She "embraced excellence" before it was a buzzword. She cared about "her" nurses. She felt very protective of them and was determined to do everything she could to make their job easier. Jess, Mary, Barbara, Maida, Henry, the list goes on. She recognized that in helping them, she was ultimately helping her patients, that in "caring" for them, she was caring for her patients. Many a morning, when she was going home, she would be sweaty and disheveled from how hard she had worked the previous night. But at the same time, she would be exhilarated. She took great pride in the job she did, in a job well done. For it was not a job for her, it was a calling. She was dedicated to that calling as exemplified by how much she cared for everyone and how proud she was of the job they did. She was part of a team.
She cared for Alexandra and Tiffany, her daughters. It was very important to her to make their house a home and to give them very special memories. She doted on them and was extremely proud of them, talking about their accomplishments and talents. She loved them and loved being their mother. She was their friend but their mother first. She had her priorities in order and didn't do things to impress. She wanted to please them but never at the expense of herself or her dignity. She looked forward to being a mother in law and a grandmother.She would have been terrific at both.
Lastly she cared for her friends. She loved her friends at the hospital, especially Michelle and Joanne, Barbara and Maida. Our friendship started out different than most because I was her boss. But she soon pulled me in and made us friends. She doted on me as well and often bought me gifts, not as a bribe, but as a true expression of her love for me. I used to say that Debbie was crazy about me, even though I didn't know why. But I soon became crazy about her and I know why. She had a generous spirit and a caring heart. We spent many many hours just talking about anything and everything. It started with her needing reassurance and guidance in her job,but over time, it became a mutual bond of love and friendship. I miss her calling me mid morning, asking if she could stop by. We both knew that when she stopped by, that she would stay for hours. In the beginning, the day staff used to call me on the phone to see if I needed to be "rescued!" After a while they stopped calling because they realized I enjoyed these visits and had no desire to shorten them. Today, I feel like I have been robbed. We had so many more conversations to look forward to. There was an innocence about Debbie that you don't see very often. She always thought the best about people. She was not naive but rather chose to believe in people and in their goodness. She made you want to be your best, just like her.
I love you, Debbie and I will always miss you. I am honored to have known you and to have been considered your friend. You will live in my heart and the hearts of all those who knew you and loved you and were loved by you. You were uncommon in this word we live in because you really cared about the lives you touched. I count myself lucky our paths crossed and you touched mine.

My Dear Friend: You were always there for me - non-judgemental - loving - supportive. You were there when all other doors were closed to me; and I ask why? Why does God take someone so beautiful, so soon from us. And then I realize why. It's because God wanted another beautiful angel to make his heaven. Until we meet again. I Love You.

Dear Alex and Tiffany,
My deepest sympathy to both of you and the rest of your family. The hardest thing in the world is to loose your mother. Hold on to all the good memories and in time the pain will lessen. You both did so much to make her last days as pleasant and painless as possible.
She will be with you always.
