To my sweet friend Shanna and family; I am so sorry for your loss of your beautiful sister. Denise was such a kind, gentle human being. Although our paths crossed only briefly, she left an impression on my heart. Her kindness will always be remembered. Love, Laura
Denise was a beautiful soul. When I would see her, we would never leave each other without a hug and I know this sweet one is with her Savior Jesus Christ, celebrating and having an amazing homecoming.

We will always remember your smile and laughter. We feel blessed having you in our lives and being apart of our family. Heaven is certainly brighter with you there.


So sorry for your loss. Praying for you all during this difficult time.

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.
