It was a true blessing to call you my friend. You and I hit off instantly when I was intern and then a permanent employee in Clerk of Courts Criminal. I was honored to be at your wedding. You were a beautiful person inside and out blessed us all with your kind heart. Prayers for the Dalmas, Snyder families. You will be missed Reds. Until we meet again my friend ❤

I'm so sorry about reading of about Dena's passing.
I purchased her stain glass sun catchers at Cedar Crest Bible craft show in November. I have a beautiful large Easter egg stain glass piece from the church craft show. Your talent will live on forever. God comfort your family and friends.

I was sad to hear the news about Dena. I worked with her in the criminal division and in the Clerk of Judicial Records for over 20 years until I retired a few years ago. I could tell from the moment we hired her that we made the best decision. She complained little, took pride in her work, always had a smile on her face and laughed a lot. It was a true pleasure working with her all those years. My heartfelt condolences to Elario, Evelyn and her entire family.

This is truly heartbreaking. I can still hear her joyous laugh after not working at the courthouse for 10 years. She was so kind, giving, and empathic. I hope her memories carry her family through the grief.

The smile in this picture was Dena through and through and spoke to the kind soul behind it. The world was certainly a better place with her in it and she will be missed by many.

The world instantly became a dimmer place when I heard about your passing. You are a wonderful soul, and everyone is missing you and your smile. I will never forget how every time I came in to file something, it would always turn into a wonderful discussion about the latest Marvel movie or the latest book you were reading. Until we meet again.
