Dear Dave and family,
I was so very shocked and saddened to hear about your dear Debbie. I was blessed to have her in my Zumba class. She was so enthusiastic about every class and never left without telling me how much fun she had or how she loved the music. Lately I was happy to play her requests, one in particular was a bachata "due vite" an Italian song by "il laboratorio del ritmo" which made her face light up! I could see her dancing so passionately to the music and I was motivated by her amazing energy. She always chose to dance in the centre of the room where I could make eye contact and catch her lovely smile of approval for every song and routine. She loved dancing and she showed up each day with such passion. She brought an absolutely energetic and positive vibe to the class. Since there was a three- week break from Zumba, her last words to me were " what am I going to do without Zumba? " and she laughed and wished me a great trip. It was overwhelmingly sad to teach my class today, the first day without her. We miss her so very much on the dance floor. She leaves a huge void in our hearts. We know she continues to dance in heaven, praying she smiles down upon us. May she continue dancing with us in spirit. May she always be dancing in heaven!
My deepest condolences and prayers, on behalf of myself and her Zumba friends.
May she Rest In Peace
