Deb and I worked together at the Dental clinic at the VA Hospital in Gainesville. She was a great friend and we spent many hours joking and poking fun at each other. Some of tried to contact her when we found out she was sick. I will miss her smile. Rest in Peace pretty lady.

I was one of Debbie's first patients when she entered private practice in Gainesville. She was a funny, generous, kind, altogether lovely person, in addition to being a terrific dentist with a lot of patience and knowledge. I visited her at the hospital when she had cancer surgery and she had so many flowers from well-wishers, they filled the car when she went home. As her dental patient, I missed her so much when she retired due to her illness and left Gainesville. I am so sorry for your loss.

I was a high school buddy of Debbie's at Winter Park. We lived near each other in Dommerich Hills in Maitland, and hung out together. We went to different colleges, and then went different directions in life. I was able to keep up with Debbie, and was so proud of her accomplishments!
Was so shocked to see her obituary in today's paper. She will be missed!

I only knew Debbie a little, when she joined our bridge club. I remember her quick wit and smile. My condolences for your loss.
