  1. Treasured memories of our beautiful 12-year-old neighbor Debra, who always loved to call over and play with our new baby Terri. Together with Maureen, they remained close friends for many years!
    Over the years the "Williams" became a very special part of the "Fraser" family's world, right through the good and indeed the bad times!
    Our sincere condolences to Pat, his family, and Debra's sisters!

  8. To Pat, Natika, Shanell, Maureen, Helen and Shiree, my deepest sympathy to all of you on the sad passing of Debbie as I knew her when we were nursing together. I also had the honour of being one of her bridesmaids at her wedding. Due to my moving around a lot we lost touch. I will always remember her incredible laugh. Thinking of you all.

  20. Our deepest sympathy to Pat, the girls and family. Our Tuesday night swimming sessions already feel the absence of Deb’s radiant smile and laughter. We will miss her recipe ideas, family updates and her insightful thoughts on the world and news.
    Her friendship will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
