    I met Debra at one of the worst times of my life. She came into Casey’s and was talkin about my grandson, he was born with severe brain damage and wasn’t doin well. Debra didn’t realize it was my grandson it was something she seen on Facebook. When I ask if Peyton was who she was talkin about she confirmed it was. We stood there and talked and cried. After that any time she came in to store she ask about him and after he passed she came by and talked to me and would check in with me. She was such a sweet person. I am glad I got to know her and have a relationship with her. Her kindness and friendship will never be forgotten. She will be missed.
