I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Mrs. Debbie from Walker Jr. High MANY years ago. I transferred from DS knowing only a few people from church. Mrs. Debbie made me feel welcome right away and was always there for me if I had any problems. She was very loved and will be missed by all who knew her. She always had a smile on her face and could always brighten my day when I was down. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
