I am so saddend by the news of Debbie's untimely death. Debbie was my best friend growing up in Bricket Wood & at Secondary School . We kept in contact but our lives travelled different paths after leaving school. I last saw her at her Flat in Ronald Court Bricket Wood. The next time I called round she had moved. I have such lovely fond memories of Debbie - her attempt to teach me to ride a horse ,our holiday to Lloret de Mar when we were 18 & had left school & going to the monthly Boggetts disco in Bricket Wood Scout hut to name but a few. She was always full of life,smiling and happy & a very talented artist completing her A level Art in a year. My Dad who woukd go into St Albans on Market days & shopped at Marks & Spensers would make a point of finding Debbie to have a chat. Both my parents passed away 5 years ago but were very fond of Debbie. I thought about about Debbie over the years especially when I passed her old flat and wondered where she was and hoped she was happy. A few weeks ago I went through all my old photographs and came across some old School group photos in which Debbie appeared in a few . I shared these with some school friends I still see on our What's app group who knew Debbie from school and we reminisce. I expressed my sadness of losing contact with Debbie and resolved to try and find her. This I did Sunday 25th February and was do deeply sadden to read about her passing in such a traggic way - life can be do cruel & unfair. I have shared the link with School friends who knew Debbie. Reading the coments on both sites I can see Debbie was much loved by all who knew her. On behalf of her old School friends I wish to express our deep condolences to Debbie's family ,friends & acquaintances . She will be greatly missed by all.
