I went to school with Debra. I offer my condolences at this difficult time. May her legacy sustain her family and loved ones.
My condolences to her 4 lovely daughter. Also all of her family whom I'm sure loved her dearly.

I met Connie in the 70's when we lived in Wildwood2, Wappingers Falls as neighbors. We became very close friend's in later years when we both moved to Poughkeepsie. In recent years, we would see each other often to go to movies, CLS and the Town of Poughkeepsie senior center's special events. We were always there to help each other when needed. I will miss you, Connie! May you rest in peace, my dear friend.
I will miss Connie's warm smile at our CLS events. She was always ready to sit with me and help check in guests. All of her CLS friends will miss her dearly.
