Wow!!!! We are so sad by the loss of this beautiful woman. If you ever needed Debra she was right there. I enjoyed the years I worked with her at New Mount Olive. She directed the kids choir for a while and she was also an Adult Praise Dancer. She was a good friend and did not hesitate when we asked her to be a part of our wedding. I am so glad she had her own relationship with God. Gone but never forgotten.
