We are so sorry to hear about Denise's passing. She always had such a sweet smile whenever we'd see her. Always friendly, and always willing to tell you about her latest hunting experience! We enjoyed hearing about her successes from turkeys to the big buck that she'd bagged! We always loved watching her drive by, as she was always so careful to make sure a dog or cat weren't in the road. She was so caring, that she wanted to make sure she didn't hit any of our critters! We always appreciated that about her! We will miss her tremendously! All of our love, and sympathy to our wonderful neighbors. Love, Karla and Steven
