I was blessed to have gone to school with Debbie in Carrollton,Georgia, and to have reconnected with her several times in our lives. I taught at WIPC Preschool when the girls attended and Had the pleasure of being her friend these last several months. She has been a joy to my life each time we were fortunate enough to reconnect. God bless Mike, the girls and their families, and "our Angel" Eliza.

I recall wonderful times with Debbie when we volunteered at Savannah's Little Theatre. It was a pleasure to work with her at the Georgia Infirmary when I provided speech therapy services under the contract with Savannah Speech and Hearing Center. What a brilliant, amazing person Debbie was. Mike and Family, I wish you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Very sad that dear Debbie has passed. She was a wonderful person; smart, always positive with a gracious smile and laugh; very kind-hearted and always doing her best for others. I was fortunate to have had her as my friend from WGC and as a fellow student in the PA program at MCG and as a room-mate. She will be very much missed!
