Debby Sharp

I'm not sure if anyone is going to see this, but, just in case, I wanted to say that I've been looking for Dee at my local craft fairs for years. I have so many pieces of her jewelry, I honestly don't know how many. I love her work. She always knew that when she came to Richmond, she'd see me. I haven't seen her booth for so long, I decided to look for her online which led me to discover the very sad news of her passing. To her family, I want to express my condolences. Also, I don't know if...

I didn't personally know Dee, I had met her a couple of times while buying her jewelry at the Fairfax City Fall Festival. My last contact with her obviously was several years ago when I sent her my heart charm necklace to have her add additional charms to it. The next time I wanted to add more charms I was sadden to learn of her passing. Recently I started wearing the necklace whenever I go out of the house and have received so many compliments on it. I think of her every time it happens....

So sad to learn the news - and my condolences to her family...Though I had not seen Debby in quite a few years, I have sweet memories of working with her at the Sandburg Home many years ago & visiting her at shows with her jewelry. Heaven has surely gained an angel..
Sincerely,
Mary Beth Mackley

Stan & Ryan,
We just learned of Dee's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dee was a true inspiration to our classmates. We went to elementary, Jr high and high school together. We lost touch while she made her travels in foreign countries. I am so glad she was able to attend our 40th HS reunion this past September. Heaven has another angel.

Although Dee and I didn't have close associations, we share the same middle name, "Dean," just finding this out brought a smile to my heart! Dear family, although sadden with this news, I rejoice from the Victory she's now enjoying in eternity with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! With sincere condolences, I encourage you to transform some of your tears of sorry into tears of joy, and shout the Victor's cry with Dee, "O death where is your sting, O grave where is your victory!" 1 Cor.15:55....

We shall miss her each day!!!!

Dee was an inspiration to me as an incredibly talented artist. I first discovered her through gifts from my parents...each Christmas they gave me a pin or earrings from Dee's collection. When I began doing craft shows as an exhibitor, one of my favorite things to do after setting up my booth was to see Dee's latest creations. I was so honored when Dee and Stan ordered my cards for their beautiful shop. I am thinking all good thoughts for her family and friends...with much love. Charla Hayen
