To know Denise, as a sister, friend, mother, grandmother or coworker was to love her.
in this life while we compete and struggle
Many times our lives are measured by how much we currently have accumulated…
But when we pass from the living , we are measured and remembered by how much we Gave. DENISE WAS A GIVER!!! God bless
