So sorry for your loss.

Ms. Debra was more like a mother to me, than just my friend's mother. I have been blessed to get to know, spend time with, love and be loved by such a sweet person. She, and the Young family, have given to me and my family so much. Her physical presence will surely be missed, but the true essence of who she is, her kind, loving and generous heart, will always live on, and be fondly remembered and cherished.
