Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. Both your mom and dad were very special people and I have fond memories of them. Now they are back together again. I am sorry I will not be able to come to the services, I am unable to get time off from work. Will be thinking of all of you and sending peaceful thoughts and prayers. Love, Nancy

Condolence: Denise was one of a kind, and I mean that in a positive and complimentary way. Sycamore pool was probably our first connection. After that the friendship continued around the bridge table with Melissa and Eric (my son) by our sides as preschoolers. A lot of information was exchanged over that table. I had less contact with Ken, except for a very brief conversation or friendly wave at an ecumenical chorus event. I’m thinking of the family now. Ellie Batchelder

Condolence: I am remembering Aunt Denise tonight. I saw her and Uncle Ken last, at our daughter, Stephanie’s wedding. I was so glad they made it. Denise was swimming laps in the pool (amazing) and I had a good conversation with Ken poolside. We have a wonderful picture of them dancing at the wedding. I remember both of them fondly.
