Dear Ron,
Oh Debt and her wonderful humour will leave a large void in so many lives.
She lived her life with passion, honour and steadfastness to those who were lucky to be included in her private life beyond her daily work helping others as a Professional Financial Planner.
Her passion for a little bit of chocolate and mine for chip wagon french fries let us quickly develop a strong friendship that will always be a part of me.
Hearing about you often from Odette, then finally meeting you as her compassionate, loving, funny caregiver I know you enriched each others lives fully.
My heart and prayers are with you, take care, Karen Kollee

So sorry to hear of your loss. Odette was a great lady, always full of joy. At work, Odette talked a lot about her family and loved to show us many pictures of Cameryn. She was so excited when she told us the second grandchild was coming. I miss her coming with me to fitness on our lunch hour.
May god help you through the road ahead.
