Debbie, I haven’t known you professionally for years, but it soon became evident when you asked for my help that you had such a passion for the work you did and the service that was provided to the people of Kent (and wider) through the Coroner’s Service.  The inspiration you shared with anyone that wanted to grow into this field shone through and you have left behind the most cherished memories for people to grow and thrive.

You could be a very closed book, but once a page of that book was opened there were chapters and chapters of true dedication, love,laughter and fun.   You opened your heart and your home to those close to you and both your heart and your home were extremely beautiful and always blossomed just like Little Miss Sunshine.  Thank you for letting me into some of the chapters of your book (your life) I was honoured to be welcomed in.    

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.
