Jeff,Greg and Mike,
Denise was so kind to us, especially to Jesse over the years, and always made him feel like part of the family. We will all miss her, and it won't be the same at the lake without her. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, and we hope that in time, your sadness will be replaced with smiles and laughter as you remember all the wonderful times you shared as a family.
