Linda, I just learned of the passing of your Sister Denice and extend my sincere condolences to you and her entire family. She had a beautiful smile and my wish is for all her loved ones to cherish wonderful memories now and forever more.

Ronnie, Tracy, Brett and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Denice was the most accepting, giving, infectious, entertaining and happy co-worker who became a friend. Her smile, laugh, stories made the day fly by. She was a checker and I was a bagger at Safeway (I was 17 and she was maybe 25) and we would get into some pretty funny mischief, usually started by her and resulting with me having to go work in the back or cover a wet clean up on aisle 4. From time to time we would run into each other here and there and she always greeted me with the same smile and heartwarming hello, a quick catch up on life, a funny story and infectious laugh to send me on my way. I will miss our chance meetings but feel so blessed to have had the privilege of knowing and experiencing her spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, may you find peace in all the memories and love she left behind.
