"So sorry we just learned Denise passed when I was speaking with my brother yesterday; thus, missed the funeral/celebration. So happy for Densie as she has a place prepared for her (John 14:2-3) without a doubt but sorry for Marvin and kids as she will be so so missed. HE will eventually provide peace that passes all understanding. You folks are sincerely in our prayers!!!"
