We have known Debbie for a very long time. She was an amazing nurse, quiet but very efficient. Loved being on call with her. We both loved working at the Ajax Hospital. Had a great sense of humor and a fast wit. We are of the same vintage. We will truly miss her. Many hugs and lots of love to Hamdi and Debbie's close nit family.
