Our sincerest condolences to the whole family. It seems like just yesterday that you and Denny were at our wedding reception at Walden, but that was 33 years ago! We send our love and prayers and know that the peace that surpasses all understanding will comfort you in this most difficult time. Much love from all of us: Scott, Cathleen, Ben and Zach Cohen

Jill, from the first day we met in a real estate office in Aurora to so many awesome memories in between. Our lunches , our dinners, our trips to Kitanning to visit your Mom and In-Laws and yes we hit it off so well because we are both from the Pittsburgh area. How do you put 40 years in this little square? Oh yes this makes me smile and will make you smile, the night we went to see the Chippendales, oops, for my 40th birthday, yes Denny and Joe were there too, I have pictures!!!!! So much,
but I better leave some room for other people, huh? Bless Denny, Kim, Erin and their families oh and little Lizzy who will miss you. Rest in peace my friend,I love you. Liz Bires
