I just learned of Denise's passing, my heart is broken. When I think of my childhood, every memory includes Denise, she was like another sister. Every memory of Den Den makes me smile, she gave so much of herself to everyone she met. I know she loved her family fiercely and will be missed by so many. Bob, Ron, Ken & Paul I am so very sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
