Debbie described the store as a quiet space where people "come and touch things, feel things, and a lot of people come in here and feel peace and joy and rest just in the quiet space, hearing God's word and the music." She said supporting local businesses supports families and relationships: "When people support our business, they are supporting my family and my employees' families, but mainly we're supporting the community."
Her remarks closed with a personal sign-off: "I'm Debbie, and the buck stops here." The remarks occurred during the meeting's public comment portion; no formal action or vote was recorded for the item.
