Stefanie Smith says
A great lover of animals, Denise dreamt of one day opening an animal refuge. She had a fiancé that adored her, and she was a great big Sister- always organizing family camping trips when we were younger.
She was loved. She will be missed.
Shawn Hawk says
From Shawn- her Fiancé ~ I cannot believe my little gem is gone from us. She was taken to soon, we had so many plans, so much to do. I’m grateful for the 15 years I had with my lil Gem. I’m saddened that she was called home before we could make our dreams a reality. I miss her terribly but I take comfort and know that we will be together again someday.
