Please wear something that will remind you of Deborah and what she meant to you (bright colors, sports attire, etc. are welcome and encouraged).
We know she was such a ray of sunshine in so many lives and we want her celebration of life to reflect who she was as a person and the impact she had on you.
In lieu of flowers for our family, we would love to honor Deborah through donations. She had a passion for working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and served as a teacher and mentor for many years. Please see the link below to donate to the Special Olympics of Florida. Deborah also had a passion for helping anyone and everyone that she could. She would go above and beyond to help individuals who were struggling which is a testament to who she was as a person. Please see the link below to donate to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. These are two foundations she strongly believed in and that we feel will honor her best.
