24 Carat Conversations with Phylis and Rhonda

Debbie Boyd, by her own account was living a happy married and blessed life as an accomplished Supply Chain Sourcing Director for a major Silicon Valley technology company and Mother to two beautiful daughters.  In October 2005, Debbie’s life dramatically changed when her 27 year old daughter Christie disappeared without a trace from a casino in Placer County CA. In 2006 the man that abducted Christie was convicted of her murder and sentenced to 59 years to life in prison, but refused to disclose where he hid Christie’s body.   After nearly “15” difficult years, on August 20, 2020, Debbie received the news that her beloved daughter Christie’s remains had finally been recovered; they were found buried at the killer’s former home in Auburn, CA.  

Throughout this difficult journey, Debbie has remained steadfast in her Faith and never lost hope of finding her daughter.  Debbie has turned the grief, anguish and torture inflicted upon her and her family into action and goodness, by serving others through victim advocacy, teaching, and awareness.  

Debbie shares her story of loss and victory in this episode and we know that you will find her story very inspirational.

We had the privilege of interviewing Leah Luong this week,

Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Leah and her husband, Tommy, made the move to Los Angeles, CA, in January of 2017. They have been married now for 4 years. Leah is the founder of the Zara Eleanor Foundation, which honors her daughter Zara who was stillborn in August of 2019. This organization helps families financially and emotionally who have faced the loss of a child through a 12 month program of professional counseling, one on one mentorship, and the families next steps as they grieve. Leah enjoys spending time with family and friends and traveling in her free time. 

Her story of loss and hope is one you will not want to miss this week. We encourage you to share with your friends and also with those you know who have endured infant loss. Leah is truly an inspiration!

This month is Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness and we wanted to honor this month so we invited Linda to share her beautiful story of how she is impacting may families with her ministry He Knows my Name. 

Linda’s impact in Indiana and beyond has included providing funerals and headstones for babies and children.  These gifts are given to babies who are abandoned and to serve under resourced families.  Linda has claimed 28 babies in several states and has dedicated over 120 headstones in 8 states. Linda has advocated for the Safe Haven Baby Box, which became a law in July 2018. The SHBB allows a baby to be safely surrendered anonymously without fear of arrest or prosecution.

Currently, Linda is focusing on raising awareness for Cuddle Cots, a cooling device used in hospitals, which gives the “gift of time” to mourning parents.  With community involvement, He Knows Your Name has sponsored over 30 Cuddle Cots in 5 states hospitals, most in Indiana, making Indiana number one in the country. This has benefited bereaving families when they experience Infant & Pregnancy Loss.

Nationally, Linda appeared on The Steve Harvey Show, was a guest on ‘In the Market ‘ with Janet Parshall, The Harvest  Show,  and was a guest author on Ann Voskamp’s blog.   Her story has been featured on dozens of radio shows and print publications.  Linda has received the Jefferson Award from ABC, the McMiracle Award from The McDonald’s Foundation, United Way's 100 Heroes and the Fox News Community Hero of the Month Award.
