    It was far too soon and she was far too young, but I believe she is with all the loved ones who went before her and she is at peace. 🌹 Love you and miss you Gooner.

    Gary and myself are thinking of you today as we say farewell to a good friend. Denise was definitely one of a kind who was a true friend and her funny antics will be remembered for years. I’m sure everyone has a story to share. I know we have several. She was so proud of her family, and whether you were family or friend she was always just a phone call away. As I watched the service today some of those memories came flooding back. She will be greatly missed and always loved.

    Glenn,
    Your Mom is free of pain now-which she did not deserve. Karen & I had such a nice visit that day at the house. Keep her memory alive, we all have so many. God has a new angel who will watch over you. 🌹

    Denise was a a breath of fresh air, greeting our crew daily at Nestle. There was a beautiful depth to her soul and you could feel the love emanating in every interaction, I should know, the first time I met her is when I ate mango in the factory and needed to apologise as it could have been very negative. Even then she just smiled and forgave me, and we became friends over the years. You will be missed on this earth, but you were always an angel that just finally went home. From me personally, but I know all the crew at Advanced Stainless loved her also and would send their regards.

    I am so sorry to hear of Gooners passing. I have so many fun memories of her and she was one of a kind girl. She was always the life of the party with a big smile on her face. May she r.i.p. and wear her wings proud cause she earned them. She was always the one to turn your frown into a smile with the silly things she said or the silly things she did. May good memories of her at the trailer and the partying we did. She will be missed by anyone that had the privilege of knowing her and anyone that never got the chance to know her they missed out on the great funny silly awesome person she was. May all the memories that you have of her help you through the days , weeks and month’s ahead. She is now at peace and having a family reunion with her loved ones who have gone before her.
