It is with a heavy heart that I say until we meet again to my cousin Denise. My dear sweet heavenly father I come to you today with faith and say send an angel Denise's way. I know her time has come and now you will take her home, to stroll across the streets of gold where other angels roam. It's hard to know our family's suffering as she faded away, help me God to understand, give me strengh I pray. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,however, love leaves a memory that no one can steal. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home. when Denise crosses over and steps into the light tell her that I love her and when the time is right. meet me at the pearly gates where every thing's brand new, we'll walk across God's meadow lands where the skies are always blue. Somewhere beyond the sunset every now and then, I pray she watches over me until we meet again.
Love now and always; Stewart & Bubby

My heart is heavy with the sorrow that I will never meet you. I heard of your passing after your passing, and the sad thing was, I didn't get a chance to meet you or know you, or tell you that you were my little sister. I have always wanted a sister and now know I have sisters out there. I need to connect this links, before we loose anymore. I wish I could have gotten the chance to say hello before I say goodbye. But we will meet, I am your big sister and when my time comes I will come looking for you!
