2010 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Premium
K athleen C arr
The 2010 Ford M ustang G T
puts a bounce in its gallop with
rejuvenated styling inside and
out. It also boasts larger wheels,
standard stability control and
more power for the V8-powered
G T model. Handling has been
im proved across the board, and
the G T benefits from suspen­
sion tuning from last year's d is­
continued Bullitt edition.
M ustang GT, engine delivers
a315-hp and sounds great. In
the handling departm ent, the
M ustang utilizes an old-school
solid-axle rear suspension that
h e lp s k ee p co sts dow n, yet
Ford has managed to endow the
M ustang with a fairly com fort­
able ride and responsive han­

Debra Denise LyDay was bom on
Sept. 29, 1955 in Portland to Faye
Evelyn LyDay and Charles Fleming.
She was the third o f five siblings
raised by her m om , a single parent
w hom she was very close to.
A t the age o f 6 m onths, D ebra
survived a bout with Spinal M enin­
gitis, but suffered from epileptic seizures the
i rem ainder o f her life. Taught to be indepen-
i dent and a special needs advocate, she faced
i her disability as a cham pion, not a victim.
She m anaged her pain by taking strength
and courage in her faith in God and her belief
in the human spirit to prevail. She did not al­
low labels, classism or stigm as to define her.
She approached school, w ork, church, and
com m unity service with the same zeal and d e­
term ination to m ake a difference to the best of
her abilities.
D ebra attended King E lem entary School
(Highland) and graduated from high school on
time with her class in 1974, completing require«
m ents set forth by the Board o f Education for
M ultnom ah C ounty Interm ediate E ducation
District. She later took enrichment and life skill
courses at Portland Com m unity College.
She held a variety of jobs and spent count­
less hours serving as a volunteer in her com -
I munity and church. An avid collector o f an ­
gels, she also enjoyed listening to her favorite
gospel music and visiting with family, neigh­
bors and friends.
A devoted C hristian, she actively partici­
pated in bible study and worship. She was a
m em ber o f S haron S eventh-D ay A dventist
; Church for over 30 years where she actively
served as a greeter, deaconess, and m em ber of
the telephone com m ittee.
One o f her favorite pastim es was talking on
the telephone and calling people to celebrate
birthdays, an niversaries and holidays. She
loved kids and w ould always seek and give
hugs and kisses. She valued fam ily and
friends and w as a loving aunt, great
aunt, cousin, and friend to many.
She loved life and enthusiastically
encouraged people with optim ism and
praise. She never gave up on herself or
others. She believed we all have som e­
thing to offer and was not asham ed or
afraid to speak out for basic human rights and
to help m ake people aware o f special need con­
cerns and accom m odations.
D ebra passed away from com plications due
to seizures on Aug. 15,2009. Funeral services
were held Aug. 27, 2009 at Sharon Seventh-
Day A dventist Church. Interment follow ed a,
