I was so deeply sorry to read of Deb´s passing. We worked together at MUSC before she retired. Although she had serious health issues, she would come to work and always had her work duties on task and her patients needs and priorities on top. She loved nursing, her family, and she had many interests. I just remember this huge recipe library she had. Also, she´d tell me about her children and how proud she was of them. Her husband´s work at Fort Moultrie and what he did there. Know that I have your family in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless.
