My deepest condolences to Mike and the rest of Deb’s family. Deb was an amazing person and a great friend.
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Deb in Puerto Vallarta and she was an amazing, friendly person who made a huge impact on people here. Deb was an organizer and hostess to many at her condo and on the various boat trips she organized. I will surely miss her smile, her hospitality and her love of life! RIP Deb.
Oh gosh…life in PV will never be the same without Deb! She was a joy to be around and she genuinely cared about her PV family. You will be sadly missed Debra. Xoxoxo
Britta and I were shocked when we heard the news while travelling in New Zealand.
Deb was always smiling and contagious with her bubbly personality. Loved her baking! She hated losing at dominoes, and was always fun to play with.
Life is short friends….enjoy every day.
Take care Mike.
