I met Debbie at the YMCA. She would teach classes. I remember her always being positive. She will be missed.

I first met Debbie when she was an aerobics instructor at Espree Fitness Center. She was an excellent teacher but moved so fast it was hard to keep up! ;) Many years later, I was reacquainted with her at a Bible study we both attended. When she learned of our DIL's similar journey as hers, she called me at home and talked extensively and encouraged me and prayed for us. I really appreciated her sincerity and concern. Her memory and legacy live on as we all hope to be as helpful to others as she was. Praying for God's love and grace to richly flood your lives.
