So in tears right now. I always thought I was a tuff guy. I will never forget all the hugs I traded with Deniece when she picked up John
and Erika at my wife's child care. Life's Short. Pray Hard!!

Our hearts are breaking today as we mourn with John and Erika. Your Mom was a wonderful, dear friend. We attended each others weddings and were together as our children were growing up. I don't think I could have had a daughter without Deniece giving me all of Erika's beautiful dresses!:o) We have lots of great memories of when we babysat John and Erika at our home, too. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Mark, Peggy, Bran, Bryan, and Sara Rowe
