Terry, our first encounter with you and Denise was when we attended St. Anne's Church and then later when we both moved to St. Elizabeth. Whenever we would see you both and your family, you brought a smile to our faces and a wonderful and happy feeling to our hearts. We thought of you as the most beautiful and loving couple. Denise was beautiful and you handsome, and always happy and smiling. whenever we would run into you at some event, you would always stop and visit with us. Your beautiful personalities were always on display. We just found out that you had lost your beautiful Denise from this weeks SEAS bulletin. We are praying for you and your family.
Our love goes out to you,
Bev & Ron Parker
