Debbie was a great person her memory and presence will live on in the many lives that she touched and was involved in. She was one whom had my respect not only as my sister, but also as a minister, Bible study teacher. She is and was many things to me and will never be forgotten.If you knew her you knew a wonderful person, if you didn't you missed out on a lot. I know she left an impression on all whom she knew.
