My condolences 💐 to my family and friends. Denise was a beautiful person. I love ❤️ when they would come to Dothan Alabama. Her mom and others would have to go home with peas and boiled peanuts. She was her Mo twin. We would keep in contact and see each other on Facebook. Take your rest until next time love you ❤️
Our condolences 💐 to our beloved family. Prayers from Dothan Alabama family Janice Lee Hart and Olivia Lee Reynolds.
We sincerely wish you the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart forever. Praying for you and family.

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to all of you affected by her untimely passing, may she rest in peace and comfort
We lived right next door to each other in Markha, Illinois. She was my bestie. Later we lived in the same apartment complex. I was trying to reach her the night before. Then finally realized I had her number in my phone. I am so sad to hear of her passing.
Sending heartfelt condolences.
Denise you have always been such a beautiful, classy Lady. I miss you already my dear friend.
My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences goes out to the family. I worked with Denise for many years at the Illinois Credit Union League in Illinois. Denise would have me laughing out loud about her beautiful white poodle dog at that time. She was full of life and a joy to work with. We sent each other a Happy Mother’s Day text in May this year.
To the family: Hold on to your memories and let them guide you during this time of sadness. God is always in your corner to comfort you especially at a time like this. Rest in Heavenly Peace Denise!
I’m so sorry to hear that Denise has passed and she has reached the comfort of Our Savior. Ray and family , Elaine and Erica accompany in sympathy and The healing will be recovered but will take time . God bless you all .🙏🏿🌹
It hurts because she was a friend. I meet Denise and Angel In Montana approximately nine or ten years ago. One of the most funniest memories was when Montana got a “Popeyes” chicken restaurant, which was on the Malmstrom Air Force Base… you would have thought heaven was on earth at that moment. You will never be forgotten my friend. God makes know mistakes when He connects people together. I’m so grateful God chose you and Angel to be apart of our lives. I’m better for knowing you, better for having meet you. “May you be blessed in the next life, my friend, as I was in this one by knowing you.” “Your spirit will live on in our memories because friendship transcends death.”
Sorry to hear of your loss. Love and condolences to you and the Family. Stay strong and hold onto the memories, until you see her again
Denise was an extremely wonderful and kind person – a beautiful soul.

My prayers go out to my nephew Ray and Denise’s family. May God grant them peace at such a difficult time.
