We were saddened to learn of your loss. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Denise, although we do remember having met your Mom at a number of school-related events at SFB over the years, unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to share more than a quick conversation or so with her. However, one can't help but know how she truly must have been one very special lady indeed as she and your Dad had done one wonderful job in raising a daughter like you (and your sister Chris, too) who (along with Tom, Tommy, and Becky) learned how to live her faith in showing love and kindness to others. You and your family became a very special part of our lives oh so many years ago when our paths first crossed with SFB's first kindergarden class....and your friendship has meant a great deal to each of us, and we find it to have been truly one of our many blessings.
We know this time is especially difficult for all of you but are confident that your faith will see you through. We're certain without a doubt that both your Mom and Dad are with you always, as you carry that very special part of them in your hearts and in your very being. May God continue to walk with each of you and comfort you with the kind of peace He alone can give. Our love always,
