I'm still shocked man... I just can't believe it. I work with her and her team in Mexico when shooting for brides magazine, she was amazing as a photographer as she was as a person, we all travel around looking for the best spots to shot, she was all the time great, fun, hilarious and committed to her work, I always remember that last night at pancho's celebrating the end of an intensive job and the last photo film at the beach. Some of the pictures are shown in this memorial video... so sad!

I just had a dreamed of Debra last nite. So I decided to google her website and found this video. I am shocked and saddened. She used to assist me when I had a photo studio in Palo Alto CA during the 1990's. I will miss her easy laughter, her enthusiasm for life, and the sweetness of her being.

Love

Dear Debra, I am sitting here expressing my loss and needing to (finally) release to an empty entity. I lacked the courage to do this during your celebration of life. I put my empty hand out to you tonight wishing you could grab it one last time. Thank you for blessing me for a few short years with your presence. I enjoyed every moment! Even the 29 hour days with no lunch. I wish this could have continued. . . . .

love,

turek

I am shocked and SO saddened to get this news. Deb shot photos of me and my family last year for Real Simple magazine. She truly was a ray of light. My prayers go out to her husband and daughter, whom she spoke of fondly while she was in our home. I know her shining spirit will be with you always. -Cheryl

Deb and I were friends back in Chapel Hill. I visited her several times in Santa Barbara and San Francisco, and we travelled to Europe together in 1993. We lost touch and I wanted to find her again, only to find out this shocking and horrible news. I am so saddened by her loss. She was such a special person, someone who just lit up a room. Why did I wait so long to get back in touch? I always thought we would meet again. I feel so sad for her family, especially her daughter.

The world has lost some of it's light. I met Debra & Tony back around 92. Two of the most beautiful people you would ever meet. Although Deb and I had grown apart a few years ago, I thought of her often. Tony, if you every read these, please know that Kai & I are holding you and little Frankie Ray in our hearts.

XOXOXOXOXOXOX Stephanie & Kai Peterson
