Deborah, you were and are a precious friend and cousin. I have sweet memories of our childhood. We grew up in McDonald Chapel and played together every day. I know that you are resting in the arms of Jesus our Lord and Savior. Wish I could give you a great big hug. There's a void in our lives with you gone, but we all know you are well now. No more suffering.
I will see you soon. Love you fiercely. Linda Mobley Barber
