To all of Debra's family: I am deeply saddened by Debra's passing. Over the years as a trustee I was able to witness firsthand the impact she had on our Catholic identity and culture. I knew she was a woman of great faith and I am sure that faith sustained her and all of you when she passed. I pray God will give you the strength to get through this very difficult time in your lives. May Debra rest in peace.......Ed Nieuwesteeg

Not everyone has the kind of attention at their funeral as Debbie did at noon today at St. Julia church. Two bishops, a dozen priests, the special choir and a big crowd was a sure testimony that she must have been someone really special. We should all wish to get such a send-off to eternal life. Only good thoughts and prayers are with Debbie and the family.

My deepest sympathies to Debra's family and her many friends and colleagues. While serving as a high chaplain in Niagara, I had always admired Debra's leadership qualities and her wonderful example to the young people. She will be greatly missed on earth but she will be a great addition to the communion of saints in the Kingdom. Please know that my prayers are with the family and those who mourn her death. I will offer a Mass for Debra at Sacred Heart Parish in Parkhill, ON.
Many prayers, Fr. Tony Laforet

Katie, Mary and Michael:
Not sure if you remember me but I babysat you all when you were babies. A lot!!! Katie, you cried the most. :) We also spent some time together at St. Anthony's. Mary, I will never forget your rendition of a lion king song in a talent show. Mike, you were just a little guy back then. I knew you while in your house in Thorold and then in St. Catharines beside the Kilgours.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I can only imagine the big hole you feel. She was an amazing person, beautiful, bright, so kind and giving. We were all blessed to have known her.
She loved you guys to the moon and I know she was your rock. Take what she has taught you into the world (and it sounds like you already have because you are grown people now!) and continue to make it a better place. I know your mom, already an angel on this earth, will be looking over you.
My deepest sympathies, prayers and hugs to you. Becky

Justin and I are praying for all the friends and family of Debra during this difficult time. We are saddened by the loss of one of God's angels on this earth. She was an amazing woman with a strong heart and spirit- a joy to speak with and an inspiration to live by. The last conversation I had with her proved to me how proud she was of her children and grandchildren. You are her legacy and I'm sure you'll continue to make her proud. God bless you all in this difficult time... may her example help you continue to be a channel of God's peace.

Just the other day I noticed that Debbie had not posted anything on Facebook for awhile. I wondered what the reason might be. Although we are cousins, our contact was relegated to Facebook posts. One of the enjoyments of social media is the ability to connect with people that are miles apart, friends and relatives alike. Debbie always posted something positive, uplifting, encouraging, or humorous. Very telling of her personality, her spirit, and her Christian nature and beliefs.
It is so sad to hear of her passing. Sharon and I grieve with you during this period. It doesn't seem right to say she is in a better place. She will be missed by so many. But, her memory will inspire many to keep a smile on their face, to be true to their faith, and to praise God from whom all blessings flow. Love to all. We'll miss you Debbie.

I remember Debra as Misses McCaffery who was the mother of one of my closest childhood friends. She was a very sweet and caring mother and never seemed to have a mean word to say. I also remember her as a devout and dedicated Christian. My condolences to the family during this difficult time.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Debra McCaffery's passing. I had the pleasure of taking one of her courses at Brock University during my final year of Concurrent Education. She was truly an inspirational and kind woman whose faith, humor, and compassion filled the classroom. In addition to being a strong instructor, Debra was an effective and humble leader. Her contemporary views and teachings of Catholicism were accessible, relevant, and particularly helpful. She has informed a great deal of my vision and pedagogy. Her presence will undoubtedly be missed by all who knew her. Thank you so much, Debra, for your years of service to Catholic education. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to call you my teacher, and pray that your family and friends may find comfort during this trying time. Rest in peace.

They say God only chooses the most beautiful flowers for his garden in heaven. I'm confident that the meadow of flowers you are now part of shines more brightly and beautifully now that you are there. Thank-you for the all the seeds of faith and inspiration that you have sowed in us as Catholic educators. It is my hope that we can continue to be dedicated followers of Jesus like you are Debra. Your love and service to Catholicism will forever kindle.

I wish to express my sincerest condolences to all of Debra's family on her passing. Debra was an exceptionally giving person and has made this world a brighter place for being here. Her care and support of Monsignor Vladimir during his illness was a power of example, and I know that he appreciated it more than we'll ever know. May all of us, who knew her, carry on the rich legacy of caring, compassion, and love, that she exemplified so beautifully in her own life.
