I loved Denise with all my heart. I remember taking care of her when my brother Donnie married Teresa. Many memories of her as a little girl. She was a beautiful person. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
We were 18 when we met and I will never forget the time we walked into each other’s lives. We became best friends. You were my best friend from Canton and I was your best friend from New Phila. We had so much fun together. I couldn’t had find a better roommate than you. We laughed , cried, went on dangerous adventures, drank, and much more. You are so proud of all your children. They were your life. I’m already missing you ????. But I will never forget you. I will always love you Denice. Love your best friend from New Phila Missy. ????????
