    Deb used to be an office manager/area supervisor for the Help at Home office in Mt. Vernon; I worked under her as one of the personal assistants for Clay County; she was always a delight to see walking into the office. Every phone call I had with her ended with us laughing. Hearing the new of her passing broke my heart. My prayers go out to her family and close friends; she’ll be greatly missed.
