To Debbie's family: I was a high school friend of Debbie's, and I'm saddened to be given the news that she is gone. Debbie was a courageous, determined and artistic teenager and I am glad that she continued her life with those ideals. I remember that she was a very approachable young soul who loved to talk. She and another friend and I would have conversations for hours and hours in my attic "sanctuary". Multi-talented, Debbie made everything look easy, although in retrospect, I am sure that it wasn't always. She sewed the most beautiful dress for me in white eyelet. It's still my most unforgettable dress. For me, Debbie represented everything that was good about Peterborough, a sort of funky intellectualism, an idealistic energy. Debbie was made of energy, she was always going places when we were young. It's good to see what she accomplished with all that momentum. It is only sad that her storyline was so short. My heart goes out to you, her family and friends. She was a remarkable, unforgettable person. Her friend from Crestwood, Carole Titcombe
