I remembered years ago when Denise was dating a friend of my and they were playing in a little beer joint called "Mays Place" in North Salt Lake and both him and aunt Joane came out, i think more than one time to I guess support Denise and it was great we all had fun when they were there. Miss you already and we'll see you soon. When you get there give mom, grandma and uncle Joe and Brenda a big hug and tell them we miss them, from Kevin Richmond Stewart
