Debbie,
I was your 6th grade teacher at Fillmore Middle School, and I've listened to you on the radio ever since I knew you were a part of NPR. That's where I heard about the death of your mother.

I just want you to know that I am thinking of you during this difficult time.

To the family of Mo. Ruby, when I think about her, all I can do is laugh, she would say things that would make you think about how to handle a situation and then she would look at you like over the top of her glasses and put a beautiful smile on it, when she was serious she was serious because she was concerned about your spiritual life as well as your natural life, she was very concerned and interested in every aspect of your life. Thank you so much for being the prayer warrior that you were and the compassion you had towards the people of God, you never lost your focus and thanks for being there in the time of need, especially during the prayer times. Nothing got by her she saw when no one else was looking. May you find strength in knowing that she loved her family and she love God.
