I am so sorry to learn of Debra's passing
I met her a few years ago, when I visited N.P and we both enjoyed talking guinea pigs. I have kept in touch with her since then on occasions. Such a brave lady, thinking of all her family at this time.

Hi Deb, I can't believe you are gone. I'm going to miss your fabulous sense of humour and our genuine chats. I always enjoyed how real you were and loved watching your relationship with Emma as a grandparent. You used to bring her into the salon when she was so little and the two of you were peas in a pod. The team at Kabel Hair Studio are so sad to hear of your passing. We send our love and hugs to your family and hope that you are reunited with Geoff and at peace.
The world needs more people like you Deb. I'm so sad that you're gone.
Love Kirsty and the Team at Kabel Hair Studio xoxo
