So belated, Denise and Omar, I send you prayers that you forever be in the presence of God, the saints and all his Holy Angels forevermore. God watch over your sons, Troy and Lamarr, who grew up as friends of my son. You were the perfect loving parents.
May your children always be guarded by God's Angels on this earth and in their presence the next.

To the family of Denise Holland. I was sadden to hear of the sudden passing of Denise. I fondly remember Denise at the little league field and the love, joy and pride she had for her boys. We truly lost one of God's angels. Rest in knowing that God's word will provide you strength and comfort in this most difficult time. Hold on to the sweet memories of Denise and she will forever live in your heart. Until we see her again, God's blessings to your entire family.

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

OV, Troy and Lamar although I never met you during the short time that I worked with your wife and mother I felt as though I knew you. Every time that she would mention one of you her face would light up showing how much love and concern she had for her husband and her boys. I offer my most humble and sincere condolonces as you grieve your loss. May God give you all Peace and Comfort. God Eternally keep you.

Dear OV, Troy and Marr:
We know how much you and the family loved and will miss Denise. We must believe that God loved her best; she was his child and he needed her with him in her Heavenly home. We never know the day nor the hour when the Lord will call us home;I believe that His plan was to have her home with her MOM and DAD when he called. Denise's legacy is wealthy, strong and rich. She loved all of you very musch,and leaves that legacy for you to cherish. God Bless! Love You, Ms. Bobbie Woodall(AC,NJ;St.James AME Church;ACHS)

Hello OV,
You have my deepest sympathy! Although we have been out of contact for many years, I still consider you a close life-long friend. Until I read the obituary, I had forgotten that it's been almost 30 years since I attended your wedding in Atlantic City.
Again, I offer my condolences to you and your family and I hope to get a chance to see you soon. May God bless you and yours.

Dear "O", Troy and Lamar:
It must have been destiny, as we met as freshmen at VUU and who would know that we would re-unite watching our offspring grow from children to young adults through little league football and on to high school graduation. Our family offers condolences in the loss of your wife, mother and dear loved one. Denise was a fine lady who loved her family. Be encouraged and know that others in the community share in your loss. We shall continue to pray your strength to move forward. Trust in the Lord with all thy might. You are not alone.

Re, the untimely passing of Denise is truly a monumental loss for you and family, and for all who had the honor to know her. During this time of sadness, please know that although death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Hold on to your memories and let them be your guide as you face the difficult days ahead. The ALMIGHTY will do the rest.
