"One day we will remember how lucky we were to have known her love with wonder, not grief."
Many a chair stands empty in homes where a loved one was taken far too early.
When I go home to England in October to see my family and friends,
one dear person will be missing, the lovely daughter of my dear cousin.
Denise passed this week after such a long battle with health issues - MS for
many, many years, breast cancer a couple of years ago, then a severe stroke
a few weeks ago.
She was a fighter. She was stoic. She remained positive in her outlook.
She kept a sense of humor. She was loved by all, especially her husband,
parents and brother. . . . . . and we three second cousins and our families.
My family is not large compared to some but we are close and get together
as much as possible. For me it's harder being so far away, however I do try to
get home to the UK annually to see my loved ones.
Denise was so special and much loved.
May she now rest peacefully in a good place.
