Debbie was a important part of my life growing up. My mother and she were very close. I think I started knowing Debbie when
I was very young and never a time do I remember her without a smile or a laugh. Family was always very important to her, but Jesus was always first. She has always been and will always be the meaning to me of a true Christian. James, Douglas And Ashley my thoughts and prayers are with you and I will keep you in my prayers. Love you all.

Debra was more than just a good friend of so many years - she and Cap have been a true credit to our community. I'm so proud to have called her my friend - she will be deeply missed by the city and the people whom she served so well.
