As I sit here trying to put into words what Debbie meant to me all I can hear is this song …“How do you talk to an angel” I know that Debbie was an angel placed here on earth and is now an angel in heaven. Debbie had a heart of gold and her loved touched all of us. No matter what we needed she was always there with that big smile willing to give a helping hand. I can remember all the love she put into teaching her students. The joy she received from creating a new craft for the students to complete and from presenting a new lesson. I can remember all the silly things we used to do like going to the zoo and going to the Twilight marathon. We used to tease each other over Debbie being team Jacob and I being team Edward. I remember driving in Jacksonville to go to the “World’s Biggest Bead Store” only to arrive to a 400 square foot store then while leaving being in a finder bender. I remember her laughing about how she backed her car up to the garage and how John didn’t notice the minor damage on the rear bumper…well not right away anyways. I can remember her telling me about flying with John and playing with the boys. I remember the fun time we all had at the carnival and wining “carni” fish! It is these memories that I will cherish and hold dear to my heart. I think the world lost a little bit of magic when she passed. I miss my friend, but I take comfort in knowing she is in place more deserving of an angel. I will miss you tremendously! Love Melissa Berry
