Dear friends and family, Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Debbie. I just learned of her passing from the U.D. Alumni Newsletter. I had the privilege of singing with her in Freshman Choir and later as seniors in the Madrigal Singers at the University of Delaware. I remember her beautiful, warm, mezzo-soprano voice that touched this listener to the soul. As a foreign language major I also shared many classes with her. (BS.Ed 1976). With her ready smile and encouraging presence, Debbie was a bright light in deepest sense of the word. May her memory be for a blessing, and may you find comfort and peace in the embrace of your faith, family and friends.
Sincerely, Linda Baer, Cantor, Bet Aviv Congregation, Columbia, MD
