    Diana, I was shocked to hear of Debra's death. I remember the both of you from NHHS class of 1968. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Just look up to the Lord and he will keep you strong. I lost my sister back in 1981 so I no what you are going through. God helped me to stay strong, so that I was able to make it.

    I worked with Debbie for only three years, but during that time we became friends. Debbie always made you feel included and cared for. Debbie was a very special lady, one that I will always remember and think of fondly through laughter and tears. She spoke of her family with great pride and joy, know that she loved you all very much. I pray that God will comfort you during this sad and difficult time. Take care and keep safe. Cristal R. Jenkins
