Debbie was a dear friend. She was thoughtful and always kind. I will miss her a lot. We worked together at Alston & Bird and remained friends well beyond.

- Eve Phelps, Decatur, GA

Debbie was a good friend and co-worker. She was a wonderful person and loyal friend. I have missed her greatly.

- SARAH BARTLETT, Atlanta, GA

I worked with Debbie for a number of years at a law firm in Atlanta early in her legal career. We socialized in addition to working together and she became a good friend. Life put us on different paths and we lost contact. Recently hoping to reconnect I searched for her on Facebook which led me to search even further to find her. I never expected to be reading her obituary. My heart is so heavy with sorrow for the loss of such a sweet, energetic, and caring lady. To her family, I express my deepest condolences for your loss. I will always remember Debbie.

- Patricia W. Turner, Smyrna, GA
