My apologies Deb. I send out so may communications throughout the day, grammar and spelling takes a hike. Im like awestruck from the video. I brought tears to me eyes, not only because of who was in them also because who isnt. I believe, the video though doesnt have much reference to Vitales, it brought me back 35 years as I remembered the moments we all had. Most specifically the conversations in the back room, when the dining room was slow and no party scheduled. I wish I knew who all the youngsters are, and the dining scenes reminds mew of the one or two holidays i stopped at Felicias house to share in your families holiday dinner. Like most families, all of us at Vitales couldnt be more dysfunctional, though we all loved every minute of it. Hers an Absolute on the rocks with three limes salute to you. I miss you Deb.
Always forever yours,
Don the waiter.
He he.

I believe, there is only one word that could be used to describe Debbie. Awesome. When she was working as a chef at Vitale's, when Tony wasn't, her and I had some memorable conversations. on some very slow nights in a cool Jersey winter, and got to know each other quite well. I remember her husband Vinny, at far, as we were celebrating some holiday and I was waiting on Debbie, Vinnie and some of her friends in the dining room, and Vinnie was getting a little sauced to Debbi's disliking, and as a true friend, seeing Debbie irked, when he asked for another glass or Irish Mist, I asked him, what do you want a bucket of the stuff. And jersey lore is, that Vinny always walked around with a bucket of Irish Mist every day since.
Incredible how time flies. Helped me get to Columbia University as you sealed the deal with a loan. Its just like yesterday. 
My condolences to you Ray, I knew who you were and you knew I and we weren't the best of friends because you ate lunch at the bar instead of the dining room. What a loss. Our loss heaven's gain.
Always with Love
Donald

Dear Ray, Tony, Ann, Vic and Donna, my prayers and thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. May she Rest In Peace. She was truly a quiet champion and a special angel. She will be missed. . . But never forgotten 

Dear Ray and family, Debbie was an earth angel to all that met her, she gave her love and assistance without asking or expecting anything in return. Debbies smile and laughter lit up any room she was in and could make anyones frown turn upside down. When I first met Debbie we had a soul connection and a forever friend bond was created. I watched her touch and heal so many people- Now she is an angel watching over us.
Her candle will forever burn bright in the memories of all that love her.

Dear Ray, Vic, Tony, Ann and Donna,

Please accept our sincere condolences on Debbie's passing.  we always loved being in her company, her warmth and kindness were always evident.  She fought a battle with all of her strength for a very long time and we pray now that she is resting peacefully in God's loving arms.  Prayers for her and for your family from our family...

Love,
Pam and Frankie

Our sincere condolences Ray.  Debbie helped me and my sons tremendously.  She was a wonderful sister in law and aunt and she will be missed.  But I know she is with Felicia and her mom and dad watching over all of us.  Love,   Dino and Gerri
