I am so sorry to hear of Debbie’s passing, I remember her from High School. Always smiling and always a great conversation.
We reconnected here at TSTC. She had that same warm smile. Rest in Peace Debbie.
My deepest condolences to the family. May God’s future promises at John 5:28,29 of an earthly resurrection and Revelation 21:3,4 of no more suffering or death bring you comfort. Until that time comes, God assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he “is close to the brokenhearted” and “saves those who are crushed in spirit.” So he understands your pain and grief and is eager to help you by giving you the strength you need to cope during this most difficult time. (Philippians 4:13)
My condolences for the family. She will be truly missed at TSTC.
