Thoughts and prayers to this family who has lost a gem. Debbie helped raise my kids at Kindercare and sometimes took care of them when I went somewhere. She was such a sweet and kind person and will be missed by everyone. Thank you for the years of loving my kids and being a mom at daycare while I had to work. Forever in our hearts.

Your love lives on in the hearts of everyone you blessed with your unconditional love. I spent the evening out in the thunderstorm yesterday thinking of you. I'll be present Monday in spirit to celebrate your new life watching over us all with my Aunt Barbra and all our loved ones who meet you when you arrived.

Debbie was such a sweet girl. We lived by Ollie on Windsor for years! We always loved her & family. We attended church of God for too many years to count.
We are so sorry that your hearts are broken over Debbie’s passing. We will be together one day soon!
I won’t be able to attend the service due to my declining health, but will be praying for strength in abundance for y’all.
