There are no better words than in Mr. Decker's lyrics written in tribute to you a teacher, a mentor, a daughter, a sister, a mother, and a friend. "I recall the sun shining in a room, with children learning all the while. I remember laughter, a life in a bloom, I remember your smile. I thought I saw a flash. I know I heard a voice, and many people were transformed. I saw you make a difference, you touched so many lives, from you many new days were born. If there's a footprint, in everything we do, it's seen in how we change the lives, of everyone we knew. It's locked in hearts and memories, and treasured like a jewel...I'll remember you!" -words by Marc David Decker 2006-
