Dear Duke and family of beloved Denise,  my memories started at HLP in 1987 when I met a younger coworker and hoped to have been a friend.  I wish you all strength and endurance during this time.  My last memory was of celebrating our August birthdays together a couple of years ago after the HLP team meeting w several folk there.  We had Dessert and decided we would continue the tradition.  The pandemic stalled it and I thought we would this year but...The celebration of live event was amazing and so good to see that Duke is surrounded by genuine family and friends.  I'm here always!

Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me”.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we’re together again.

Much love to the Shelton and King Family
