Jeannie advised Debbie that she couldn't be more wrong, that she was a tremendous help with Roman as a teacher and a spoiler. Thirteen years were between Debbie and Jeannie. Their mom, Virginia, worked 2 jobs and Debbie helped to raise Jeannie, now she was helping raise Roman. For the last few years she spent half the year with mom and half the year in Texas with Jeannie.
Debbie loved children, serving others, cooking, shopping, ice cream, Christmas time, and nursery. She worked at Church here in Missouri and in Texas. She carried everyone else's burdens and never carried a grudge. Debbie was flexible, easy going, easy to get along with, and never made an enemy.
