We dated in the late 90's when she was a Sergeant stationed in Hawaii. I had the honor of pinning on her rank when she was promoted to Staff Sergeant. When I encouraged Debra to submit her application for the Army Warrant Officer Program, I didn't know at the time, but in doing so would inevitably end our relationship upon her commission to Warrant Officer. My world was a better place with Debra in my life. I will miss her always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309468638735819625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894589.post-36641592879179624112009-08-15T17:21:55.635-04:002009-08-15T17:21:55.635-04:00I knew Debra here in Az. and did not know she had ...I knew Debra here in Az. and did not know she had died untill I googled her name and your blog post is what I found. What a shock. We'd known each other for years but had a bit of an estranged friendship. I always figured over time and maturity we could eventually grow to understand each other. I always cared about her and liked to think she felt the same. It was actually just that year that we ran into one another again and our conversation reminded us of why we were friends to begin with. I was so proud of her accomplishments and experiences, and always intended to rekindle a friendship. But that was always hard, for she was always a guarded complicated mystery. Seemingly so open and welcoming yet distant and hidden. She was always that way. Even long before going to Iraq. I even met her sister Kim before, and I feel so sorry for her. Kim is a really sweet person and they loved each other very much. I also remember her mentioning Latonya as one of her friends. It is so strange to get this news this way, but I thank you for it. Please, if you know how I can contact Kim could you message me? myspace.com/msmalaprop thanksjutamaneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647630923915151666noreply@blogger.com
