I went to LSU grad school in Nursing with Debbie. She was such an inspiration. I had te honor of showing her the positive pregnancy test results and ten attending her law school graduation as she was very pregnant with Nick. Motherhood brought out the best in her. I wish I ad stayed in closer touch with her after I left New Orleans. My deepest condolences to her family, especially to Nick. I apologize for the date of this entry but I just learned of Debbie's death tonight. May she rest in peace and may her love always be in Nick's heart.
