We were shocked and upset when we heard "Ms. Deborah", is what we called her, had passed away. She worked with my son who has Autism "Tyler" for almost a year and her and my husband shared the same birthday 9/29. She helped Tyler in many ways and we were sad when she left us. She called us a few times on the birthday that her and my husband shared to wish him a "happy birthday". She sent us invitations to some of her church functions but, we were never able to attend. But,the invites meant alot because we knew even though she left, she was still thinking of us!. Thanks Ms. Deborah. We are sorry we will never get the oppurtunity to meet up again with you on earth. Be blessed in heaven and may god be with your family especially your grandchildren. We know how much you loved them!!!. Love, The Townsends Andrea, Darren, Alexus and Tyler

I was so shocked to her about the passing of aunt Debbie being that we had all had lunch together a few months earlier and she was in good spirts and good health. I want the family to know that GOD never makes mistakes and she is in a better place. You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this diffcult time.

I grew up beside Debbie Jean and her family in Crestwood many years ago. I remember Debbie Jean as a very quite girl and she had a beauty smile. Me and my son Tito stay in Iowa now.

Let us cry when they enter this world but rejoice when they depart. Words could never take away the hurt that you may feel. Only time and comfort from the Lord can ease your sorrows. God opened up his heavenly gates to receive one of his own. Tho we want our loved ones here with us. We have to feel just a little bit better knowing that she has gone on to glory. Thank God for Jesus! I am here with you in your time of need. I ask that during the funeral God will pour down his anointing spirit and make this a celebration of her life and not just a time of sorrow. Love always and God Bless
