Howard U. Forever!!

I’m so sorry everyone, but I’m just now hearing about this. Debbie and I attended Howard University together and were both marketing majors. We had classes together and I always remember her smile. There wasn’t a time that we didn’t say ‘hi’ to each other. I won’t forget her. Prayers to her family.
Go Bison!!!!!
With Love,

My Favorite Memory Of Debbie

The last time I saw Debbie I didn’t think it would be the last and just knew I would see her again. She went through great lengths that day to see me when she didn’t really have to, but she insisted. She was a caring, loving, determined and strong young lady. We had a pleasant visit during which I had some online work to do and couldn’t connect to the internet. Debbie was so kind as to offer her phone HOTSPOT just so I could get my work done. I would never ever forget that and was forever grateful to my Dear Niece for making that possible as I didn’t even know such a thing existed! Till this day I don’t know anyone who would have done that for me!
Debbie, you are truly missed and know that You Are LOVED.

Her beautiful smile, her caring spirit, the wonderful love she had for friends and family I will never forget. How I wish she was still here to take care of her sister and all her cousins. She was the leader of the pack. Gone but not forgotten.

A Bright Light

Debbie was bubbly, fun, gregarious and always positive. Her laughter was contagious, her voice distinct. She always made time for her friends and cared for everyone. She was the one that brought everyone together- a true uniter. Our lights shine a little dimmer because she’s no longer around. A true… Read more “A Bright Light”
