Oh, my! I just found out. I have fond memories of helping her mom in the garden when I was a kid. Great family of caring people. Jimmy helped us the day my father died. I’m so sorry to hear this. Love and condolences to the family.

Debra and I had shared a lot in common, starting with our dad's, the love of Chihuahuas, nursing at Methodist and helping me with my mother when she had a stroke. These are just a few of the things that we bonded over. Even though I had not talked to her in a while I feel I have lost a very close, dear friend. Prayers for her family. Rest in peace with our savior.

Debra was a kind and caring person whom I loved working with at Methodist University. I will always remember her gentle and kind spirit. I know that she loved the Lord and her family more than anything. Debra was an excellent professional nurse along with her many attributes. Fare thee well Debra.
