Michael and Deborah Update

Update from Love in Marabella

Michael and Deborah got married on June 1, 1979. This June they will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Sister Baptiste later apologized to Michael and the two ended up having a close relationship.
 
The couple lived in Trinidad for some time when they got married, but dreamed of more opportunities for their children. In 1985 they had their first child, Racquel. The two moved to New York in 1988, where they welcomed their second daughter, Natalie, at Queens Hospital Center. They would move between New York and Virginia before finally settling in Florida in 1994.
 
Michael is now self-employed and remodels homes, while Deborah is the Director of Housekeeping at one of the leading hospitality companies. They love spending time with their family, including son-in-law, Jeffrey and grandkids, Roman and Ella.
