Dear Jim and family, We were so very sorry to hear of Denise’s passing. She was such a lovely and loving woman. She was a ray of sunshine on our lives. So compassionate, so caring. Her heart was big enough to hold each of us, share our hopes and joys, comfort our sorrows, laugh with us and cry with us. I hope all of you know the depth of her love of and pride for all of you. We’ll never forget her smile, her joy in all she did, the big things and the smallest tasks. She gave so much of herself. She touched so many lives and for each of us who were blessed to know her, there will be a hole in our lives that will never be filled, never be healed. We love you all. Praying for your peace and strength till your memories of her bring you more smiles than tears. Sending love and hugs to you.
