I saw that on the news last night. She was a lovely girl. RIP Debby.

She is beautiful and those are great pix. Thank you for sharing.

We had a polar bear for years at the Denver Zoo. Her name was Velox, and her grave is next to the polar bear habitat even today. I remember her from my childhood. She was blind, but loved performing for the visitors.

Your city has my sympathy. I cried when she died. I was nine at the time.

Awww, poor Debbie.

I remember when she first came here as a cub and my Dad took me to see her. I was reading the paper today at work and I was all weepy

ya I was pretty sad too..when I was reading about her..
I sent these photos to the zoo to see if they wanted them...
and to cbc and ctv...
ctv got back to me and said thanks for sending them...

A bear named Debby. Just think how many people her life touched! Rest in peace, fuzzy girl.

Sounds like Debby had a full life and touched many people. RIP Debby,
