Judy BilottiI am surprise and saddened to read of Deb's passing. I worked with both her and her Mom at Jane Vernon and always enjoyed working with her--always a in charge kind! of educator who was loved by many students and staff! My deepest condolences to her family as they deal with this great loss. I cannot be there in person but will be keeping all in my thoughts and prayers. May many wonderful memories sustain family as they navigate life without Deb around.
