"Debbie has been my court reporter for 15+ years and we shared a lot about our lives and became dear friends. I loved Debbie and her commitment to her family. She made me feel loved and part of her family. She was always professional and courteous. She will be sorely missed by me and the other attorneys that knew her well. Rest in peace, Debbie."
