  Dear Grant, I had the honor of working with Debbie for 6 months on my second rotation at IBM back in 2000. Debbie was so passionate about her job, it was obvious how much she loved what she did! I learned so much from her in that short amount of time and she was such a great role model and leader in her field. I loved hearing her presentations on import compliance and marking of products. She will be missed at IBM. Rosaleen Amos

  I met Debbie only once at a conference in Canada a few years ago. She was a very generous colleague, willing to share knowledge and information. I am truly shocked and saddened by her passing.
  I worked closely with Debbie on many matters with U S Customs. She was extremely knowledgeable, a god leader and fun to be around. We'll miss her smile and laugh!Don Huber, General Electric
  Grant, I was saddened to hear of your loss. May God have mercy on her soul and give you the strength to carry on.
  Grant, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I pray that you find peace during your time of sorrow; comfort in the memories of your shared life with Debbie and strength in the love of family and friends.

  My name is Iris Norris. You do not know me but I am so sorry for your loss. I was diagnosis with breast cancer in 1991 and bladder cancer in 2007. I can not imagine what your father and you children are going through. I know what my three children went through when I was diagnosis with these cancers I have endured. I pray every morning to my God thank you for another day. This is not going to help your pain you are enduring right now, but I promise you I will keep you in my prayers everyday. Iris Norris
  Grant, Mary and I have such deep sorrow for the loss of Debbie. We had such great times together up in N.Y.I wish I had great words to say but I can't write what I really feel. I remember all the good times we use to have when we were young enough to enjoy them. Debbie was always up, and such a great person. Mary and I are thinking of you.

  Grant, I am so sorry for your loss. Debbie was a passionate professional – with a global influence on trade security -and a warm, lovely person who made a positive difference in all our PSCG/WCO activities and discussions. I loved every minute I spent with her. Beyond the deep sadness now shared by so many people, what will endure are lasting memories of her love of life, her strength and her kindness. She will be deeply missed.
  Grant, I want you to know that you have been in my prayers for many weeks even though we have never met. I am a colleague of Debbie's twin sister, Barb, and have shared Barb's journey alongside of you. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Debbie, I have no doubt that she was a wonderful person because Barb, too, is so very special. May the God of hope give you peace in this difficult time. Please know that many Kansas Citians are supporting you in prayer. Sandie Anderson, Shawnee Medical Center
