To the Family of Debora Mabra,

My mother (also an E C. School Teacher) was both a good friend and mentor to Debroah. We knew her as Bobo. She was one of the funniest people I have ever known! I always enjoyed listening to her stories when she came to our house so that my mother could alter her dresses and other clothing. She was the same each and evrytime I saw her. A truly loving and caring human being!
MAY SHE REST IN POWER!!
