Deborah Thompson Brown

I am so saddened to hear of your passing. The time you were in my life was brief, as you coached me on the Striders in the late 90s, but every bit of your wisdom, faith in my abilities and the determination and drive you instilled in me, have never wavered. You were a force to be reckoned with and always pushed us, but treated us like we were your own. I hope that you knew just how much you meant to so many of us throughout the years. I also hope that there is some small comfort your family...

Rest In Peace Debbie.

You were a year ahead of me in Frederick and I also head coach Griffin and you were our runner to look up too. A great girl and track star. RIP

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am just at a lost of words, this is unbelievable for me. Mrs. Debbie was more than a track coach to me but boy was she an amazing coach. The memories that fill my mind will continue to bring put a smile on my face. I'll miss seeing her in passing and giving me hugs and a big smile and always a great conversation. To the family, Thank you for sharing Mrs. Debbie with us, she will truly be missed by many. Love you all!
