Betty and the rest of the family, I was so sorry to hear about Denise. We love you and all of our extended family. Even though we are far away and dealing with things unavoidable we always think of what we left behind. I know that you raised Denise and the rest of the kids invested in the lord and I believe she is resting on that belief. Ma Sal is there with her and she will take care of her for us! Trust in the lord! RIP

To The Family of Denise,

With Sympathy,

We pray that in this time of loss
you'll feel God's love much more
and that you'll find your comfort
in the presence of the Lord
We pray God pours upon you
His sweet Amazing Grace
and overflow your heart with peace
As you live in his embrace.

May the Love of Family & Friends sustain you in these difficult days.

To the Knight Family
I am so sorry for your loss. Denise and I went to Lawless Jr. High together and I will always remember her as fun loving, friendly & kind. Over the years when I would see her we always laughed about the good times and how we should do better about keeping in touch. I am so sorry that I didn't know of her passing in time so that I could see her and pay my respects to her family. Rest on my sister....GOD has you now and I pray for comfort and strength to help your bereaved family get through and continue on without your warm spirit. May GOD bless and keep you all.
