Dear Jim and boys, we're so sorry to hear about Denise. She was such a sweetheart. I remember baby-sitting for you a couple times and it was the highlight of my living at the "Y" to be able to just walk across the road and stay with such delightful boys. God grant you peace, comfort and strength as you go through this difficult time. Lola and Skeet Stoughton
