Debra Lee James is an exceptional nurse, which our family and church will gladly attest to. She is always on the alert to apply her nursing skills in her world of influence, which thankfully includes our family and our church.

Once, at a choir party at our house, my 90 year-old (at the time) mother fainted in the bathroom and fell. Debra came running and asked for a blood pressure cuff. Mother's blood pressure was really low. When she came to, we got her to an easy chair and I wanted to call 911, but Mother didn't want to go. Debra sat beside her on the chair arm and very quietly whispered in her ear that sometimes we have to do what makes our family happy; she convinced her to go with 911. Mother's memory rapidly faded before she passed. I think her memory of Debra was still indelibly etched in her mind. She called Debra her own very special nurse. Hopefully, she never forgot Debra's gentleness, her wisdom and her respectful treatment. She has a very special place in our hearts.

Our family and our church are very grateful to have “Nurse Debra” in our midst, with her skills and her compassion.
