Jimmy and all of the Marrone family,
I just want to pass on my condolences to all of you. I am very sorry to hear about Denny's passing. We can all hope that things are better for her now. I always did enjoy talking with her about what books she was reading and we would swap opinions on any books that we both had read ( I hope she enjoyed it too). Again, Bob and I want to pass on our best thoughts and wishes to your family during this tough time.

Denny was always very near and dear to my heart. Way back in grade school she took me under her wing and we would walk home from school, be it lunch or after school. I will always fondly remember this kind and caring woman. She will be missed by so many. Now she is soaring with the angels.
Remember the good and funny times to help you through these difficult days. My deepest sympathy to the family.
