    I have known Debbie since Kendergarten, she was a substitute teacher for my Kendergarten teacher one time. She would always remind me of when she first met me, and how I had such a thick southern accent. I always considered her my second mom. Jeremy and I have been friends since Kendergarten, and him and Debbie are like family to me. I sure will miss her giving me a hard time, or reminding me of crazy things that Jeremy and I use to do when growing up in Jacksonville. She would always remind me of how I hit a parked car while backing out of there driveway right after I turned 16. Honestly I’m not sure how I did it myself! She is an amazing person, and always willing to help out if needed. She will definitely be missed.

    Debbie and I had some really good times together since we met 40 plus years ago at Allied Telephone Co.
    She was with me when I met my soulmate and witnessed love at first sight. She was my maid of honor. Hope they will meet up in heaven.
    She will be dearly missed and forever remembered. Love you Debbie, Rest In Peace.

    Debbie and I loved those Chiefs! We called each other periodically through the last several years and had some very good conversations. She had such a deep love for her precious grandkids I’ll miss you, girl….

    I’ve known Debbie since first grade. We even took tap together back in the day and were great buds.
    She will be missed. RIP Debbie
