Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Dennis will always be a part of me. I took lessons from her (a long time ago!) from the time I could hold a small flashlight as a fairy until I managed toe shoes. I memorized the lines from "I'm a dancing poodle" and still remember all of the words! I still have my ballerina pins that Mrs. Dennis gave us every year. I learned more than dance from her. I learned how to work with others, how to practice, and how to become part of a whole story told in dance. I will always remember...

I was very saddened to learn that Mrs. Dennis had passed away. I have so many fond memories of dance lessons, and I learned so much from Mrs. Dennis! I hold her dear in my heart, as she was such a big part of my life. My favorite Mrs. Dennis quote: "Horses sweat, men perspire, but ladies GLOW!" Mr. Dennis - my love and prayers go out to you and your family. Warmest Regards,

Such a lovely lady. My deepest
sympathy to Nell's family.

Nell will always be remembered by us as a caring, loving and dedicated dancing teacher. I had so much fun taking our girls, Jennifer and Catherine to dancing lessons for years in your home. Our hearts and prayers go with Bill and the family.....God bless you all!
