Attended a bible study with Debra shortly after I moved to Texas…. Debra was always very welcoming and lovely to me even though I was a stranger…. her smile always lit up the room. She was always full of the Holy Spirit his light shown in every facet of her… It was an honor to know her, the world is dimmer without her presence… peace be with you.
