I have so much gratitude for having Denise in my life. She added so much to it through the Senior Center and Wood County Bowling Green. She had so much respect for people. She treated them the way she wanted to be treated, and she was very kind and courteous.
I also remember the wonderful Thanksgiving dinners that her and her husband served to the seniors on Thanksgiving a lot of times I didn´t have any family here so I would go there for Thanksgiving dinner and it was the best dinner the best Thanksgiving dinner you ever met imagine.
I know that God put her in my life for a purpose.
