Denham Family - I was so sorry to hear of your loss. "Mrs. Denham" has always held a very special place in my heart and memories as she was "my" babysitter when I was young. She always made me feel safe and loved, a part of her family. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you all at this very difficult time.

Auntie Peggy was a truly special woman and loved very much by the two women I loved most -- my mom and my grandmother Rita. They can now have lots of laughs together in Heaven.
Sending much love to the Denham and Barrett families!
