Aunt Denise, you always made me feel so proud to be apart of this family, and that will never change. You could make my mom laugh harder than I’ve seen her with anyone else, and I thank you for the warmth you brought to my life along with my entire family’s lives. You are too good for this world and you earned an eternity of peace, I love you Neisse.

My sweet sister, I will miss you so very much. You were such a wonderful person, taken from us way too soon. I know you’re in peace with Jesus now and I will be with you again in Heaven, but life will never be the same without you. You were like a mother to me and made such a great influence and impact in my life. Your boys have turned out to be such amazing young men, you were such a wonderful mother. A wonderful sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, friend, Christian. You will be greatly missed by your friends and family. Go rest high sweet sister, we will meet again!
