I had the pleasure of meeting Debra via zoom in 2021 through second cousin Shawn Williams of Memphis Tennessee. Debra was so beautiful and kind as she expressed a desire to shed a few pounds and be as healthy as possible. She allowed me to coach and encourage her to do just that and she literally got more beautiful by the day! I always enjoyed our weekly updates and her POSITIVE ATTITUDE! She is a beautiful woman that I will certainly miss however, in the short time I knew her, she displayed the love of God always. Thank you Debra for allowing me to a part of your life as you have taught me "In all things....Give Thanks" Blessings and peace to the family in Jesus Name🙏🏽

Had the pleasure of knowing her for some years while she attended The Holy Temple COGIC. Was a very caring, sweet young lady. My heart was blown away deeply when I recieved the news. I knew her, her husband at that time Derek Randolph and definitely all three of her kids, they grew up with my kids along with others. Praying for her entire family. Love em all. Stay strong Renesia. ❤️❤️❤️ Sis. Cassandra

Condolences and sympathy to the family. Debra was a good encouragement for me to continue to walk with boldness. I chose the red candle since it is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, courage, passion and love. James & Barbara Wells
