With heavy heart once  again I bring you news of the passing of one of our Classmates from the  PCHS Class of 1975. Debra Elizabeth Collins Alderman passed away October 10, 2016 in Wasilla, Alaska living her dream life surrounded by family and nature.

A little less than three years ago Debbie was informed she had stage 4 cancer.  As strong as Debbie was,  she was unable to defeat the cancer. Debbie's life was filled with love, smiles and laughter.

If you saw Debbie, You saw a smile.

Debbie married her high school sweetheart,  Steve Alderman,  in August  right after our graduation.  Their sons Steve and Chris plus many other family members and friends also live in Alaska.

Each of us are entirely too complicated for one person to be able to describe in completeness.   A wonderful tribute to Debbie would be if we each left some small memory we have of the life she shared with us.

Please keep Debbie's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this painful time and the years to come.

Many Thanks to Lisa Bailey for these kind words.
