Deborah was very passionate when she found out my first born died at 35. She cried. I talked with her at the Great Lakes Bead Guild about the wonderful class that was coming up that Saturday. Bought a hand full of her kits.She was the best! I miss her patterns too. God calls the good ones first. I was just thinking of both of them today.

Diana Conley and I did not know Debbie for long, but it felt like a life time when ever we saw Deb. We saw her at the Bead Show in Southfield, she lite up when she saw two of her students had come to see her. What a great, warm, and caring person. It saddened us so to hear of her death. She will be missed by so many. Take care-thinking of you. Chris Garrett

I haven't known Deb very long but took several beading classes from her at the Bead Haven. She was an awesome, very patient teacher with beautiful designs. I feel so sorry that I didn't have more time getting to know her better. I also wish that she would have had more time to spend with her beloved grandson. Rest in peace, Deb.

That i will never again talk with Deb grieves my heart. I hope she knew at least a little of how much she enriched my life. Her expert enthusiastic teaching, her caring friendship, and her upbeat personality will neither be forgotten nor replaced. You were one in a million, Deb. We loved you.
