Debbie was a very special person, She also had the ability to make everyone she met feel special too! I will miss her-I am sorry for your great loss!

Oh Katie, what a loss. Your mom was a very special person. I consider myself lucky to have been in her presence. Debbie and I go back at least 20 years. When I would sit in the dental chair, I would hear your mom talking and laughing and I was immediately at ease. Actually, it was hard not to laugh with her. She did have a laugh that was truly infectious. She loved you so much. I saw it. I heard it. I felt it. She'll always be with you Katie. Remember that.

I dread the next time I have to go to the dental office and Debbie will not be there. For 20 years we always chatted about our families, vacation plans, etc. She was always so cheerful and caring of others.What a wonderful and remarkable woman, and she was a great asset to Dr. Francis' practice as well as well as that of Dr. Carademos. I am so sorry for your great loss. I will never forget her.

Deb will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was engaging, funny and professional all at the same time. It was a pleasure chatting with her over the years about our girls who were both very talented dancers. My heart goes out to her family and I pray that they will find peace in knowing that they have a very special angel watching over them.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed chatting with Debbie at Holy Trinity, her laughter made everyone smile. Keeping you all in my prayers at this time Barbara Turner

I’m so saddened and sorry and for your loss! For over 20 years I’ve been a patient of Dr Thomas and Dr Caradimos. Whether on the phone or in the office, Debbie was always so friendly and cheerful. I will have a very tough time going to my next appointment, not hearing her welcoming voice, seeing her smiling face and listening to her infectious laugh. She was a great lady and I will miss chatting with her as I always did before leaving the office. God Bless.

I am so sorry that this joyful, caring soul is no longer in this world. I am sure she’s finding family and friends in heaven who missed her. May she Rest In Peace

So so sorry to hear Katie- she was such a nice woman.

I will miss you so much. You were a one of a kind lady. You would make me laugh and smile so much. It was hard when having my teeth cleaned and we could here your infectious laugh. RIP Deb. You were loved and will be missed by so many.
