I can’t express the sorrow I feel for my longtime friend denene, who within a few months lost both her parents . They truly belong in the heavens together. Not one without the other. That is truly the definition of “soulmate” for my friend Dee I am very sorry but the same time oddly happy for her parents love! And know they are very happy and proud of their daughter!! Love you Dee!!

I will always have fond memories of Cathy back “in the day”. She was one of the coolest moms around. I really appreciated her unique sarcasm and wit. She will definitely be missed. My heart goes out to all who are affected by her untimely passing. Thoughts and prayers! <3
