Justin, I'm so sorry to hear about Debra. It's been a long time since we worked together at Darnall and I have such fond memories of you, Debra, and your girls. I really enjoyed knowing Debra, she was such a sweet lady. May God wrap you in his loving arms now and in the days ahead.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Debra in person but found joy and comfort in her many posts about our Heavenly Father. I am very sorry for your loss.
