Sending our heartfelt condolences to your family for the loss of your mother, wife, grandmother, and great grandmother. May the good memories that you made with her, help to sustain you at this difficult time.
The fond memories I have of our “Mother/Daughter Caribbean Cruise” together, (with the two Barbs) will forever be my memory of your mom. The picture of your mom and you, Denise, laughing and having fun while lying on the hammock, is how I will remember her.
She is no longer in pain and reunited with your sister. May the love of family and friends carry all of you through your pain and grief.
Sending love and hugs to all of you-
Bill and Kathy Lee

Aunt Barbara was a special person. Her and Denise’s kindness when we worked together is a very fond memory. They always made me feel special. She had a remarkable laugh and was beautiful inside and out. A ride to Grandma’s cottage with her and Terri, sleepovers and breakfast at Doc’s, Menough’s Clothing-wonderful memories of a life well lived. I hope memories for Tom, Denise and the other loved ones will comfort them during this time of loss.

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief. Please accept our sincere condolences.
