I have a very vivid memory of Debbie and I first starting out as dispatchers. We both were working night shift Debbie was thinking of a Halloween costume for her daughter Jessie and I was trying to figure out costumes for my sons Nick and A.J. We decided we would make the costumes ourselves. Not quite as easy as we thought. Here we were sewing batman costumes by hand on night shift laughing at how they were turning out, but we did it! They were made with lots of love and laughter. Debbie had a contagious laugh and a wonderful smile. I got the nickname of "trixie", from Debbie. Jessie couldn't remember the lady with the two boys name and thought it was 'Trixie" Debbie got a kick out of that and so that was my nickname she gave me. There are so many illnesses, some very apparent that we see and embrace and some that we as a society fail to see and acknowledge. You my friend battled a brave fight. You are a warrior at peace now! I know I will see your smile again someday in heaven. Godspeed!
