I don't even know where to begin...I'm so hurt Ms King I'm sorry I didn't know you were gone I was wondering why you weren't answering my phone calls or texts. I can't stop crying I'm heart broken. You anyways told me I was a great supervisor and my respect and kindness for people would go far I don't have enough words to describe how selfless you were you came to work with me on Sundays just to make sure I wasn't alone. Thank you for all our talks, encouraging words and advice,thank you thank you thank you....I love you and you will be missed from your long nail pretty supervisor as you always called me

I'm sending my condolences to the King family! I worked in the garage of the United States Postal Service with Debra. She was so kind hearted and would bring a box of "Dots" candy and share her Popeyes chicken with me. She would come to work after receiving her "ashes" on Ash Wednesday still on her forehead. Her and I had a special "bond", we were both "Cancers"! I miss you Debra! RIP

My prayers, thoughts and condolences are with Debra´s Son, Sisters, extended family and Friends. Debra was a co-worker and friend of my Sister, Linda Carter. As such, I had the opportunity to meet her and instantly became very fond of her contagious bubbly personality. I am sadden about her sudden transition, but I know God doesn´t make any mistakes. As much as Debra will be missed, the memories that she left behind will be forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. For we all know that once you had the opportunity to meet her, you were never a stranger again. Debra became a part of our family through her relationship with my Sister Linda all those many years ago and although over time contact was infrequent, we know that she always had a place in our family. God bless, Michael and the entire family. Rest in Love with the Lord, Debra. We will meet again. Submitted with Love by Annette Carter-Gales
