NUFRIO,
Debbie
Roberta (née
PENNY)
Born August 20, 1957. Lost her battle with lung cancer, on April 4,
2006. Left heartbroken by her passing are her husband Michael
and their 3 dogs and 1 cat, and Michael's family, the Penny family,
and all the people lucky enough to have known her or been her
friend. A Service will be held at the Salvation Army, West Hill
Citadel, 305 Morrish Rd., Scarborough, on Thursday, April 13,
2006 at 3 p.m. Donations to Lung Cancer Canada in lieu of flowers
please. The best way to describe Debbie was that she was like
a ray of sunshine in the first glorious days of spring. She was
a puppy's tongue upon your face. She was that gentle breeze upon
your skin. She was also the most compassionate, caring and generous
person I've ever met. She was our Deb. We will miss her forever.
