Our son got a great start in school with Mrs. Williams and always looked forward to kindergarten class so many years ago. I was impressed esp. with Mrs. William's bringing the traditions of Chanukah to the children. I know she also helped a lot on the parent-teacher group. Thank you Mrs. Williams

Dear Williams Family,
Mrs. Williams taught 3 of the 5 (Prunty) children. She was loved by all 5. Anytime we went to Hereford for any occassion we ALWAYS stopped to see Mrs. Williams to give and GET hugs. She was the best part of Hereford! We looked forward to seeing her at open house on Wednesday, especially the two older ones who are in the Middle School. Sadly, that didn't happen. God took one of the best! I hope you know that. Mrs. Williams will always be a part of our family. We love and miss her dearly. She was an awesome teacher!!

My sincere sympathies to your family. I taught with Debbie at SPN in East Greenville years ago. She let me use her wedding veil, something old, when I got married.

Dear Jaimie,
I knew your mom long before I met you. She was a kind and generous kindergarten colleague who opened her full-day classroom to me, answering zillions of questions and freely sharing her many creative, personally-made materials. She sure loved teaching those kids, something I know she's passed on to you. I hope you know she was so proud of you!
Now that she's gone, please know I am so sorry for the grief surrounding you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers, asking that your hearts may be lifted by warm and wonderful memories of her.

I can still think back to my very first teacher, Mrs Williams, and smile from ear to ear. I remember all the moments of Kindergarten with my favorite teacher from Red Hill Elementary School. May you find comfort in knowing that she touched many lives. Her memory will live on in the lives she touched, and the imprints she left on our hearts. God Bless you, and may you find comfort in friends and family.

John, Todd and Jaime,
Please know that we are thinking of you at this time. Mrs. Williams was a wonderful teacher and my kids absolutely LOVED her. She will be missed dearly by all of her students. She made Kindergarten fun to go to school. My kids loved her witch costume. She had more compassion for Joseph and patience with Jaclynne. Debbie will always have a special place in our hearts.
