Working with you Sean, we always talked about our kids. When you do your eyes bright up with love, laughter and how proud you are of them. Not knowing Denise personally I felt I did through you.

Dear Sean, Keith and family. their are no words now that can even take away this pain, We just have to know she is in Gods hands now. The pain is left behind with all of us who loved her. She was like a second daughter to me when she was this little girl with pigtails and her great big smile , her little giggle and such a happy child. She grew up and what a beautiful woman she became, a wonderful wife , a wonderful mother,a heart of gold. I enjoyed catching up on things on her post on F/B. The love for her family and best friends. My heart is broken and I will never forget her. My prayers are with you and her whole family.... God Bless

To Denise's family and loved ones... I am praying that God will give you the strengh you need to get through the difficult days ahead. Denise and I went to highschool together and I recently saw her dropping her beautiful daughter off at a middle school dance that my daughter was attending as well. It was great to see her again... The last thing she said to me was "I'll talk to you on facebook and I am sure I will be seeing you if Ascension has more of these". She still had that same great smile... My heart is heavy for all of you... I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers...you certainly have a special gaurdian angel watching over you.
