Wow…i only knew Mrs. Debbie for a short amount of time but she made such an impression on my heart. That smile was worth millions and she was such a free spirit and loved singing and dancing with us. Not a shy bone or hesitation in her body. Fly high sweet lady. “Lets give’ em something to talk about”
I met Debbie at Planet Fitness. she was so dedicated to her workouts. And worked out so hard..I will miss you pretty lady rest in peace.🙏❤️
I met Debbie at Southern Cancer Center while she was in treatment, only later to find we had mutual friends and both attended 3 Circle. Debbie and I talked chemo but also laughed about hair (or no hair!),faith and family. She always seemed to beam of Gods grace and love! She is whole now and in His loving arms…while we miss her greatly we will see her again
