Sorry to hear of Debbie one of our 1972 Salem High School class mates passing away. Praters for family and friend's. From Rachel Causby Morgan.
Oh I just loved Debbie! I worked with her many years and loved all of our conversations. I rejoice with her that she is not longer in pain and is with her Lord and Savior! Hallelujah!
So sad to hear of Debbie's passing. I worked with her for many years at Burke County.
