Re: NEDenise Has Died

Another devastating loss, really can't understand how someone so vibrant and passionate can be taken away by this awful disease. I have been praying for Denise since I saw her last post but had no clue it was so serious.

Thank you Denise for shining your light on our group and giving us so much humor when we needed it. You will be sorely missed.

Sincere condolences to Denise's family - she will always be your angel.
