I’m so sorry for the many people who have lost this kind and generous soul. I’m especially heart broken for Scott and her girls who she loved and supported fiercely. Debbie will be most and spoken of in only the kindest terms forever.

Our most sincere sympathy to the Dolan and Robichaud families. We have such good memories of Debie, especially when she would blast "Love Will Keep Us Together" from her stereo out of the bedroom window! Debie was also one of our babysitters (she was one of the few we liked and didn't lock out of the house!) I wish I could list all my memories of Debie, but that would take a long time. She loved to laugh and could make anyone laugh too, even without trying! Crandall Street was a great place to grow up, especially with the Dolans as neighbors. I hope all your nice memories of Debie, and how much everyone loved her will help console the families. God Bless.

I remember like yesterday the first time meeting Debra, in the gym at gymnastics practice in high school. She walked right up to me at the uneven bars and said in her strong Boston accent "show me what ya got". My thoughts and prayers to your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Debi's family. She was an amazing friend in high school, she could make me laugh and smile when I was the quiet one. May she bring that laughter to all the quiet Angel's in heaven.

To the Dolan and Robichaud families. I am sorry to hear of Debie’s passing. Her legacy is simple. She laughed, you laughed. Her and Scott were born to be together, few share a bond like that. RIP you will be missed.

Sending prayers & love to Debi's husband, daughters, parents and sibs. I have so many wonderful memories of our childhood on Crandall Street. Especially the sleepovers and pool parties, kick the can and street games (I remember sitting inside the giant wooden spools her Dad had gotten from NE Tel / Verizon to roll down Hillview Street-- crazy and fun!). Rest in peace, my sweet childhood friend.

My fond memories of Debi are back in the days of Sacred Heart School in Roslindale where we grew up. We were five close friends that always hung out and had sleepovers. We were in an all-girl band called "The Funky Five" and were lip-syncing before it became famous and would dance practice in my basement to all the top hits of the time. It was Debi, Christine, Susan, Betty and myself. We couldn't finish a song cause we laughed so hard it hurt. I'm so grateful for these memories and so sorry for your loss and for all Debi went through. My Deepest Sympathy to the Dolan / Robichaud Families. "The Peace Of God, Which Surpasses All Understanding, Will Guard Your Hearts And Minds Through Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:7

Deep condolences from the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston where Debie grew up in the 60's and 70's. Spending time at 26 Crandall Street with Debie and her sibs was a huge part of our childhoods. We had so much fun with Debie's family- it really was a joyful time in our lives, and we hope Debie had fond memories of Crandall Street, of Roslindale and of Sacred Heart Parish. Peace to all the Dolans at this very difficult time.
