To Deb´s family: Deb and I were close and I want you to know how frequently she spoke of her family. We shared memories and supported each other during family illnesses. She and Wayne had a loving and fun relationship. I think of her frequently during the day, particularly when some political issue comes up. Politics was one of our favorite conversations. I miss not being able to text her with "did you see...?". I miss our lunches. I could go on. She was my best friend and I miss her. She was special, but then you know that. I want to extend my condolences and a few words of my love for her.
