Ed, I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Denise (from working at Mercy) for over 45 years and considered her a good friend. She was one of a kind and you always knew where she stood on things and that's what I loved about her. From my perspective you made her so happy and she loved being your partner in crime....fishing, hunting, cutting grass and just being outdoors. I was so sad to hear of her passing, I'm sorry I didn't have a lot of contact after we both retired. May the many happy memories help you along the long journey of healing. Dixie Avenarius
