Ray & Family
Sorry for you loss. I am sure Denise is in a better place.Your sister has kept us informed.

September 25, 2008

Neicie, you have touched so many lives and I know your legacy will live on in all of those who love you.

For the past few days so many people told stories of their times with you, and it seems we can't get enough of those memories. It helps comfort all of us.

As we prepare to take you to your final resting place tomorrow, our hearts are very heavy with grief and sadness. Uncle Ray, Raymond, Susan, Matt, Sarah, Suzi, Billy, Cass, Nana, Mommy, my Dad and all of the rest of us are in awe of the amazing strength you showed and the couragous battle you fought. But we know you are free from pain now, and for that we are grateful.

I have no doubt that Pop-Pop was there with open arms waiting for you, his baby girl, along with Mickey and so many others in our family who have gone before you. It comforts all of us to know that you are with them and watching over us.

Your three grandchildren and Madi will NEVER forget you as long as we are all on this Earth. I'm so very grateful Madi shared time with you and brought you joy, as she has done for all of us in this terrible time of sorrow.

I miss you more than words can say, and someday we will meet again....until then, know I love you!!!

Love,
Stacy

Uncle Ray, Raymond and Suzi, Tom and I are not able to come tomorrow but will be thinking and praying for Aunt Denise and all of you. May your sadness ease with the comfort that Denise has gone safely home. The words of MercyMe's song, "I Can Only Imagine" comes to mind--I know Denise has been singing and dancing with the Lord and catching up with Grandmom, Grandpop, her father George, and her cousin, Philomena already! Joyful blessings and our hugs and kisses to you.
