When she was quite young she fell ill and her young parents were unable to care for her, so she spent six years in the care of her great-grandparents. More recently, in 2000, she was diagnosed with Multiple Schlerosis, a life-threatening and life-changing disease, yet her outlook is clearly upbeat and grateful for each day.Among Debi's more delightful peculiarities is that she used to, as a child, "play church" with her great-grandparents - something that may reflect the centrality of religion in the Pilgrim Holiness sect she was raised in.

Besides the music she selected for this program, Debi shared 3 poems that she has written. You can see a couple others at lovepoetry.com under the name Debi LMcC.
