    Debbie cut my hair every month for more than 28 years. She wasn’t just my hairdresser, she was my very good friend.It was with great sadness that I learned of her death.When she cut my hair we talked about our families and what was happening in our lives. It was always very clear to me what a good and loving person Debbie was.I will miss her very much,as I am sure her family and friends will as well.I sincerely extend my heartfelt condolences to Jason and Shawnna and the rest of her family.She will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
