Debbie was like my second mom. I respected her deeply. I spent most of my high school years staying with Tennille at their house. She actually helped me pass home economics. The day before my dress was due to pass the class, I begged her to help me sew it. The dress was perfect. I still cannot sew. She is deeply missed and her memory will live on as a wonderful mother and friend.

I am so sorry to hear that Debbie passed away. I was trying to locate her. I just found this out. I am very upset.
