Dave and Barb, I am so sorry for your loss!!
Debbie “Stew” had a quiet but mighty sense of humor. We shared a lot of laughs on bus trips for volleyball–she was quite the setter. Thank you for your service my good friend, and much love and strength to Deb’s family at this time.
Our condolences to friends and family.
Condolences to the Stewart family.
Debbie was a classmate and friend. Condolences to the extended Stewart family.
