Denise, God took you from us much to soon. He must have needed a "Rock n' Roll" angel up there with him. Even though it hurts, I am glad to know that I have you up there watching over me. You will always be young. You will always be beautiful and you will always be loved and remembered by everyone you left behind. I love you my dear friend.
