Debra I will forever miss your smile and your friendship. You were like a sister to me growing up. Your family embraced me as their own. And even after being gone for years, the easiness and familiarity of our friendship when I moved back was something that never changed in you. I am blessed and honored to have called you friend and I will forever miss you. Go rest high on that mountain my dear sweet friend. We will see each other again one day.

I was so shocked that this happened. I'll never forget meeting Debra in the 7th grade. We got into a lot of trouble together, but also had a lot of good times. As the years went by we moved on with our lives but still remained great friends. I will miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. But I know she is with her parents now.
