My deepest sympathy to the family for the loss of such a wonderful person as Debra. She was always so thoughtful and kind. We were friends in high school. I know that she is in a better place. God Bless.

Debra was a loving and caring roommate to me at Morgan State College when we were sophomores. She was an angel who was
called home too soon. May God be with you and your family.

Elaine Brown was my neighbor in Union City, N.J. I returned to school later in life and Elaine was in the audience when I graduated from law school. She was a champion of people and a champion of causes -- and she was always starting something! When she knocked on your door she wanted you to participate. Even if you didn't participate you had to pay attention because she was going to be successful and we were all going to benefit. We have missed her for a long time and it is sad that this is our final good-bye. Rest in peace, Elaine, and deepest sympathy to your family.

Elaine, as I knew her, was a very loving and helpful person. She always went out of her way to help others. Occasionally, we worked together. She will be surely missed by all.
Our deepest sympathy to the family. She was and will always remain in our memories as a wonderful woman.

To the Family of my friend Elaine I would like to express my sympathy. Elaine was by far the kindest,most caring,giving and thoughful person that I have met in my life. She had a remarkable spirit and I will sorely miss seeing her, hearing her distinctive voice and of course the laughter we shared. I know for sure that she is now with the Angels in Heaven.

Well, Debra Elaine Brown, my friend since the 9th grade at Bates High, was “a master of many things�, the law, a savvy business person, a writer and a tireless champion of wrongs, wherever she lived. You know, throughout the years I repeatedly sought Brown’s advice, and was glad when I followed it.
I always admired how at an age when many are thinking about grandkids and retirement, Brown was still consumed with how to make things better for her friends, family and neighbors here and even in New Jersey, where her condo is—but, especially for her mother and her brother-whom she loved even more." Debra never lost her faith during her trials in her battle with cancer!
Well, we had our fun times in New York and New Jersey, especially, on New Years' Eves-when the "big apple was red and even after it was turned to crystal!" We shared so much......!
To The Family, I'm sharing some quotes by anonymous,
"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."-- Debra, was ONE OF my OLDEST, DEAREST AND BESTEST friend, WHO BECAME A SISTER-- a TREASURE! She lived a meaningful life that blessed all who knew her, especially me and she believed in living life to the fullest. We remained hippies and rebels-

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
With Loving Memories
Meantime, may THE WORD OF GOD, family and friends Comfort you forever!!
