    Debbie entered my life as an employee, who quickly became a friend. Her heart of gold and her selflessness made working together easy and much more enjoyable. She would notice me stressed out and brought ME flowers. Always looking out for others. I am heart sick with the loss of her in my life. I Love you, Sweet Lady, and will never forget you.

    Wishing all the best for her family.

    Debbie we worked at the same location however I never really had the opportunity to work directly with you. I know the people on your bus really loved you and you always put a smile on their face. God be with you and find your place in heaven, and finally be pain-free you will be missed!

      Debbie we worked together at Crossland and Mullikin bus. If it weren’t for you and Mrs. Patterson having faith in me and pushing me I would had never thought I could become a drive train. I know the people you touch on our bus lot really loved you and you always put a smile on their face. God be with you and find your place in heaven, and finally be pain-free, you will be missed!
