Have memories of Denise being such a loving grandmother to BreeAnna. It was a pleasure to have known her. It was difficult to see her struggles the last 6 years of her life, after her debilitating stroke. Knowing she no longer has to struggle each and every day, and is at peace with God, is comforting. Please don't worry about BreeAnna, Denise. I will be the best possible grandma I can be and will help take care of her, and Theresa, as well. Rest in peace.
I miss you already Mom, I miss who you were before that stroke took your will to live. I miss your guidance with BreeAnna and I just feel like I need my MOM! Memories of you have been running though my brain since 11/7/2018, you were a good Mom to me and you were a fantastic Grandma to BreeAnna. I will cherish the memories we had good or bad. You and Grandma are both gone now, you two ladies were my whole life for a very long time. It was just us, going grocery shopping hoping we have enough money left over so we could get a taxi home instead of carting those bags 4 blocks home. It was just us watching little house of the prairie, it was just us walking to payless so I could get a new pair of shoes or walking to 7-11 so I could get a candy bar. I love you so much mom, I know we have had our issues but you are my Mom and I thank you for doing the best you could with what you had. I love you and I am sorry that you had to loose your speech, your body and everything that you had to endure these last six years. I pray you are happy, free and with Grandma, Uncle Bailey and Aunt Anna. I miss you all so very much. Please come visit me in my dreams and in my weight room, I will look forward to feeling you by me.
WOW, What do you say to someone you've known for over 40 years now that she's gone ? Do you tell her you love her and you'll miss her ? Do you talk to her like she can hear you ?. What a joy it was to see her a couple weeks ago, she looked good, like she would be around a little longer, but no it was not meant to be. She grabbed my hands and we cried together for a minute. How glad I am for the call from Theresa to come, I truly am grateful for the time we spent that day together.
Denise and I were WILD, oh what fun we have had, some things I can't mention but will never forget. What great times, what a great friend. We were pretty much opposites in a lot of ways, but maybe that was the glue that held us together. Love you girl !
Save me a seat at the bar at the Barbery Coast in heaven, I will meet you there soon.....
This little lady became by best and dearest friend over the last four years. She and I shared the same attitudes about so much and could laugh together over everything. She taught me more about how to live while suffering than any human being I have ever met. Never complained, always full of fire and a smile. No matter what. She would have done anything for my husband Jack and I and we felt the very same about her. She shared with me a heart full of love and I am forever grateful I have had the honor to call her my friend.
