Darren/Denise and family. We are so sorry about her passing away. She was very well loved by all and enjoyed being around everybody just as much as everybody loved being around her. She always had a smile ready for you. I was glad to known her for quite a few years as part of the bowling rats hanging out with her son Darren. She will be missed and just remember the good time during this time of grief. We will keep you in our prayers.
