Hello,Family & Friends I'm so sorry to hear of your loss,I was passing through to share a scripture with everyone.Here at (Rev.21:3,4) this verse reads:With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4?And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” This verse assures us that there is gonna be a time real soon where we wont have to worry about death no more.Hope this verse brings you peace and comfort...... Allen

Great memories of a young Debbie! We remember our trips to Chattanooga after Charlie and I got married 43 years ago and we would stay with Barbara and her family, what a great family it was!! All three girls were just as sweet as they could be!! I am sorry that we have not gotten to know them as adults because I know they are just AWESOME!! I pray that The Lord will hold you close and give you strength each day. Prayers and love to all of you. Charlie & Debbie McCloud( another Debra Lynn)

Vicki said it well. Her smile was infectious and she could jack that ball out of the park! We will miss her so and my thoughts are with Donna, her sister and her entire family. What an icon to so many students over the years. A blessing to us all.

Mrs. Gass is a teacher that has forever held a special place in my life. Mrs. Gass was an advocate and cheerleader for my math success. I remember she agreed to stay after school on a few occasions to further explain and make certain I understood different concepts. Mrs. Gass truly cared about all of her students. She was essential in providing the tools and resources that I continue to use in reaching my full potential. Mrs. Gass will forever be remembered and dearly missed by many. I pray that her great legacy is a comfort for her family and loved ones. Brittany Smith Edmondson

I was saddened to hear about your loss. Debbie was one of the finest teachers and colleagues that I had ever worked with. She was always a delight to be around and an encourager. I believe that was one of her greatest gifts. When our administration required us to sit and observe a class, I always chose Debbie's. I learned much from her about giving respect to all students, even to those that may not have deserved it. We were definitely blessed to have her as a friend and faculty member. She will be greatly missed. I leave you with Jesus's profound statement in John 14: 27. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." May you enter into this tangible peace. I will be praying for you. Love in Christ, Barbara Moss

Words escape me right now. There are none to describe the void I feel in my heart. I knew Debbie best as a child. We were neighbors for many many years and the Wilson family are like real family to me. My only regret is that I didn't get to know her husband and girls. You guys have been truly blessed to have her as your wife and mother. Prayers for peace and comfort for this family. I love you all dearly. Debbie will be greatly missed.

I worked with Debbie for 11 years at OMS. She was by far the kindest, most respected, and most loved teacher there. Never met an administrator, teacher, student or parent who didn't love her to death. One in a million who will always be missed and never replaced. ~ Patrick Whitecotton

My dear FRIEND. Your beauty inside and out will forever be in my heart. I love you all dearly. My heart is breaking at your loss, but we need to always rejoice in the fact that although she is no longer with us, she is probably fishing somewhere in the most unbelievable fishing hole in heaven, and we will not have to stop at the Red Food Store to justify our day of adventure. (ha!) The wonderful color cruise she is on now is pain and worry free. I will always treasure you my dear friend. And Randy and girls, I love you.

I am so saddened by the passing of Debbie. I worked many years with her at OMS. She always had kind words and a smile on her face! She would do anything for you. Students would come back to visit Ms Gass after promoting from OMS because of the impact she made on their lives. She will be greatly missed by all. My prayers go out to the family.
