It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news of the passing of our friend and colleague, Debbie Simonik, whom we lost on December 9th. Debbie was a member of the Bousquet Holstein Law Firm in Ithaca for the last three years and a long-standing member of the ALLUNY law librarian community. When ALLUNY needed volunteers in 2022 to keep the association going, Debbie stepped forward and enthusiastically served on both the Executive Board and the Annual Meeting Planning Committee during 2023 and 2024. After sustaining a knee injury while visiting family for the 2023 holidays, she cruised through knee replacement in January, recuperated in Florida, and was delighted to get back to New York in March (in her words) in time to help run the Spring Institute! Debbie is survived by her three children, Christiane, Ian, and Joe, her grandson George, and many other family members. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers. Condolences may be sent to Christiane and Kris Chanitz, 4134 Old Mill Cove Trail East, Jacksonville FL 32277.
