    " This lady single handedly ran the craziest office ever with ease and poise. She left a lasting impression on us all. I can hear her calling my name and see her chewing gum like it was yesterday. Sorry for your loss! "

    " Debra and Family,
    I was shocked to hear of Mrs. Powe's death. I spoke with you both as we were leaving the CMHS mass reunion. May you find comfort in your moments of sorrow. Know that God is able to do above all that we might ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). He will bring you through this. We pray that your hearts be healed and that your joy be restored. "

    " My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this difficult time. I was fortunate to get to see Ms Powe a few weeks ago in front of my office and see her lovely smile. She has always been the sweetest and kindest lady from my days at BHS to years later and meeting her again. You will be greatly missed Ms Powe. "
