I loved my Aunt Den so very much. We didn’t get to see her much after we moved from Marshall but that’s when we started talking more by phone. I loved our phone conversations and the stories she would tell me about times past. She never said goodbye until she had told me to keep praying for her and that she loved me. I told her each time that I loved her too, but I doubt she knew just how much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry for the family’s loss. I am very grateful for the opportunities I had to visit with my Great-Aunt Denvalee. I will treasure the memories of those visits and am especially glad she and my Grandma Gladys were able to be together on my Grandma’s final birthday. My prayers are for the family to find comfort in the promises of the Lord who never fails.
