Melodie. I am sorry you had to read about Mom's passing in the paper. You were such a wonderful part of her life and I mentioned that in her Eulogy. She loved making musical joy with you. Thank you for your touching note on this website. God Bless

I was so sad to see Debbie's obituary this morning. She was a very good friend and I loved her dearly. When I first came to FUMC she was so welcoming and supportive. I enjoyed our time together singing in Joyful Noise quartette. She had a beautiful contralto voice! I have so many happy memories of her. She and my daughter Aimee had a great friendship and she even dog sat our boxer, Baron. I will miss her. I send my love to all her family. I know she loved you all so much.
