Dear Denise...I just, quite by accident came upon, of all things, your obit. This must have been God's leading. I still have pictures of you when we were young. You are truly a lovely woman that I haven't seen in ever so long. You were such a good friend to everyone who knows you. You had a gentle quiet spirit - yet so creative. How much John and your children must miss you, dear sister. I know you're with the Lord. . . Until we meet again, precious Denise....Agape Love You, In Christ...Jeanie
