Re: NEDenise Has Died

I am breathless and shocked. I have been on this board for many, many years and for some members, you can see the end coming and although sad, the loss is understood. But I don't understand this one. Not one bit. I am so sad that she is gone to us with no explanation. Perhaps she shielded us from the whole story with her wit and humor. She will be sorely missed and taken from us too soon.

Re: NEDenise Has Died

This is devastating, it happened so fast. Denny will be missed by all of us here, there is a huge hole left. My thoughts are with her family, whom she loved so much. We will try to keep the humor going in her memory.
