Betty: I am playing catch up & just seeing this very sad news today.

Allow Me to extend Sincere Condolences to You, Your Mother, and Debbie's entire Family

on Her Loss.

She was always a pleasure to work during My time at YYTAP, with some of the toughest days not

seeming to faze Her in the least.

I have a picture from one of the " Labatt 24 Hour Relays " We participated in - Debbie is, of course, in the front

row, all smiles,,, some great times, providing some wonderful memories

Sincerely, Mike Ryan - Lower Sackville, NS.

:

It is with such heavy hearts that we share condolences to my cousin Debbie and her family. Such a beautiful person she always was and her smile will always be with us as we mourn her loss. The Collins family shared a large part of my growing up years with our grandmother Gran being shared between our families in her later years. Oh how I remember those wonderful days visiting with Debbie and her siblings back in the day. We had the pleasure of meeting Byron some years ago when he and Debbie came to Newfoundland and invited us as part of the family to accompany them on a whale watching tour. We all had a whale of a time and for that we are truly grateful for having had the opportunity to spend that time together. Although she is gone from us now her memories will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Cous... we love you...

Debbie was my stepdads ex-wife but she seemed like a friend of the family. She was a great person to be around and always made you feel good. She lit up the room. She always reminded me to not take life too seriously all the time. Condolences to my family on the loss of a pretty amazing woman.

My deepest condolences to the family. Deb was a ray of sunshine and brought a smile to all that knew her. She will be missed. Anna C

Michael, Joshua and all whom held Debbie dear and loved,

We are truly saddened to hear of Debbies sudden and untimely passing. I have so many fond memories of years in Calgary. Working with her was truly enlightening with her endless knowledge and support, she always had the answer and delivered it positively and kindly, learned so much compassion and pleasantry from Debbie daily, loved listening to her with customers they could truly feel that beautiful smile through the phone. Not working was always entertaining sharing our "homeland" and EPA stories, oh that giggle! The memories of Christmas time and dragging her Mummering { not much effort } so much fun and always will be special.

Debbie will forever live in our hearts, take comfort in our heartfelt thoughts and prayers.

God Bless you all,

To the Larson, Collins and Barnes families we extend our deepest and sincerest condolences. We were so saddened and shocked to hear of Debbie’s passing. So many wonderful, fun memories come to mind of our years of working together in YYT. Debbie was always so energetic and such a positive person who always seemed to wear that beautiful smile, yes the one with that perfectly placed dimple. It was her signature look, for sure.

Byron,Michael,Joshua, Mrs.Collins,Betty and all Debbie’s siblings, please know that we are with you in spirit during these very difficult days. Debbie, you were loved by everyone who were so fortunate to have known you and you will always remain in our hearts.

I’m so saddened to hear of Debbie’s sudden passing. I had the privilege to work with Debbie in Calgary, as well as share some great laughs outside of work. My sincere condolences to Byron, Michael, Josh, Betty, her entire family, and dearest friends.

Sincere condolences to Debbie’s family! Another Ganderite gone too soon! RIP Debbie.

We were both so sorry to hear of Debbie’s passing. Debbie had a passion for life, a great sense of humour and a million dollar smile. She loved her friends dearly and her family even more.

A few years ago, Debbie and Byron stopped by our house for a visit while in Newfoundland. We spent a lovely afternoon on our deck sharing a glass of wine and a few laughs. Next thing you knew,they had to run and meet family for dinner,after which they were taking the midnight flight to London! That was Debbie,always a whirlwind of fun!

To Byron,Mike and Josh, the Collins,Barnes and Larson families we send our deepest condolences and hope that the many happy memories will lift you in your grief.

Sincerely,

Jean and Gerard Hayes
