Miss you Den can’t believe it’s been a year already. 

Can’t believe it’s been a year, I miss you more and more each day.  Sitting in paradise today remembering you 💜 I’m gonna have a few frozen Miami vice on the beach in your honor today.  I wish so bad you could be with me here.  I love you and miss you more than words can say.

Love your little sis


Denise (Deni) and I were close friends in high school. She was always so fun, happy and had a great smile. We lost touch after high school(sorry to say). I was so happy to see her at a prior reunion. We talked of getting together but unfortunately didn’t.
She was a wonderful person and friend and my heart broke when I recently  heard of her passing. Rest In Peace Deni. Bless your family and keep your memory alive❤️ 

Hey Aunt Deni
I wanted to come on here and say hi. I talk to you out loud but writing on here feels slightly like I’m sending you an email. (Even though we never did that, we texted lol) I just wish I could get a response back. 
I had my wedding this past weekend. Boy did you make it HOT for the celebration lol 90 degrees. Thank you for that, you knew I wanted my July weather! I got to wear my veil and I got my picture with uncle John. That was one picture I wanted to be sure I had. I miss you so much. You would have had so much fun. Man, I wanted you to be there. I wanted to have the wedding of course but also did not because you weren’t going to be there. Mom said you would have been mad if I didn’t have the wedding. I held my tears until the very end of the night when I was talking to Jer, Shannon, and my mom. I feel bad crying in front of the boys as I don’t want to feel sad Infront of them.. I just can’t help it sometimes. You raised some really good ones…
 I really miss you and wish I could see you again. Send me some more signs. The perfect weather was a good one. Maybe show up in my dreams again 
Oh or MAYBE  make a giraffe appear in my backyard or something. Then I’ll really know you’re there LOL 
I love you so much Aunt Deni 💜🦋🦒

Thank you for visiting me in my dreams last night. I miss you Sis. I’m sorry I wasn’t there the last couple years to be by your side. But having the gift of being able to spend time with my grandchildren, I just couldn’t pass up. But I know you understand as you told me I should go! You said you were lucky enough to spend so much time with your grandchildren. It truly is the greatest gift.  We only get one life we have to live it the best we can to be happy. I’m trying to live by those words. 
I wish you were here, but know you are finally at peace. 
I love you Sis

Den, 

Just wanted to write you a little note. It’s been a few months, each day unfortunately doesn’t get easier.  I know in my heart though you are comfortable and pain free that helps to keep me going everyday.  It’s strange when you miss someone so much that you literally ache inside, how I wish we had more time! Thank you for all the awesome memories you gave me and for being the absolute best sister and being my person for so so many years, you helped me through so much.  I’m trying hard to do the things you asked, I’m no where as good as you were but I’m trying.  I had a sweet conversation with Spencer the other day about you, she made me smile, you were such an awesome grandma and she sure knew it. We miss you so so much, you can’t even imagine! Give mom a hug and kiss for me.  Please keep sending me signs your with me, I need that.  I miss you every minute of every day! 💜 love you,  Misty
Ps. This sweet picture of us, Jason, Shannon and fam gave me 💕

Deni,
  I am sorry it has taken me so long to write this; I think it took me this long to find my words and there are no words that can do you justice!  I am so thankful for these last 9 years that I was able to be part of your life!  You adopted me and Bailey into this loving family that changed me and made me a better person.  You were the most loving, caring woman I have ever met and I will strive everyday to live up to the legacy you created.  I want to thank you for raising three amazing men, one of which I get the pleasure of growing old with and setting an example of a partnership of unconditional love for all of us.  Thank you for the wonderful things you have helped instill in my children! Thank you for teaching me what strength and grace look like and how Warriors can sparkle!  I will keep the promise that I made to you the last time we spoke and hope I continue to make you proud until we meet again! If love can help you where you are, you are surrounded by it!  Love and miss you!
Shannon

Deni, my friend , my Sisterfriend. I will miss you dearly. i wore purple today, drinking a glass of wine and eating potato chips and sour cream! You were my strength, always  through good and hard times, my savior when I wasn't always  smart. You loved me unconditionally. You made made me laugh! Never once were you ever too busy for anyone or anything. Even through your toughest/roughest moments, that smile was always there. I will miss  our dinner dates, our chats and remembering to tell the waitress, no pickle!  Ya know I pass that place every day to and from work and can't help but smile.  Den, you will be missed so much, I love you. 
Ps autocorrect really needs to add Sisterfriend to it's dictionary! It couldn't be wrong, especially when you've met Deni.   

Aunt Deni, 

I feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful, warm and special Aunt… you are simply the best. Luckily there are lots of sweet and happy things that remind me of you often - giraffes, purple, bbq, pretty wine labels, french manicures, sunshine and fun drinks, and of course butterflies. But most importantly, you remind me of the love of family. 

You are such a pillar of our family, not only bringing so many wonderful people into it but always giving us all so much love. I always looked forward to seeing you at family parties, your crockpots and sunflower bread brought that homemade love and you were always there for the best hugs and chats. Just being next to you was a comfort. It will never be the same without you when we are together but I think we will all hug a little harder and love each other a little more because of you. 

You were there for my mom and I when we needed you most and you will forever have impacted my life and hers. You were her dear sister friend and my beloved Aunt. I know you are up there with my Dad watching down on all of us and hopefully you two are having some fun up there together. Above all just know you are so very very loved and will be missed beyond words. Love you Aunt Deni. 

-Emily 

Dear Aunt Deni,

I am so happy that we got to be apart of each other lives. Every memory I have of you and with you is nothing short of great. Our annual summer trip to Minnesota isn't going to be the same. Having margarita on the lake and tying you to boat while you're on your raft so you don't float away. Man am I going to miss you. But I know you are in a better place now. Rest in peace Aunt Deni. I know you will always be with us.

Love Richie

Mom,

It has taken me a long time to write this.  All I can say is that I miss you everyday.  It feels like a whole has been ripped right through me that will never be filled.  

I am trying to be strong for dad, and not be sad, because I know you wouldn't want me to be.  You were more than just a mom to me, you know how much I leaned on you and you were always there to listen whenever I needed you.   I will miss our talks the most, and how you always provided a home for us boys that was safe and sheltered from the outside world that could drive us crazy sometimes.  I always looked forward to coming home, even if it was for just a little while or just to stop by and say hi. 

I am the happiest that you got to be with Autumn and the kids a lot over these last 10 years.  I know  you know I will be okay, but I miss you more than I can stand some days.  Please keep watching over Dad and us, you know we are going to need it.

 Thanks for fighting so hard these past 10 years, I don't think I ever heard you complain once.  I strive to be more like you in that way, but you and I both know that is going to be a long hill to climb.  As Uncle Scotty has always said, you were an angel here on earth.

I can't wait until I see you again someday,  and look forward to seeing that smile of yours as we dance together again.  

I love you, 

Jer

Deni I am at a loss of words.  I never imagined life without you.  You have been such a part of my life for so many years.  The chance meeting of you turned into an introduction to your sister.  The rest is history and I don't think I would want to change any of it.  You became a "sister in law" but truly turned into "family".   We went on countless vacations together with amazing memories and loads of laughs.  The love from you and your family just carried over into my entire family and made for such good times when we all got together. It is hard to move forward with such a great loss but I just keep reminding myself that you would not want us to be sad and shut down.  We just have to be strong and understand that God has a plan - we never seem to understand it but hopefully someday it will all make sense.  I  know that you are an angel flying high above with all of our previously lost loved ones who now get to hang out with you.
I know everyone will agree with me on this next statement......some people bring a smile to your face when they enter the room and others bring a smile to your face when they exit the room.  We all know that anywhere and anytime you were around you brought a smile to every face.  You left this world much to early but your memory will always make us smile. The people who never had a chance to get to know you are the ones who missed out.  Thanks for always being there for my family and one day we will laugh again together.....and PLEASE keep sending those little signs that just pop up out of no where letting me know you are watching over me.  Love You.....mike

Aunt Deni,
I can’t begin to explain how much you are, and will continue to be, missed.  

There are so many memories from growing up that I am grateful to have to remember you by.  All of the trips to Arkansas to see Grandpa Bill and go on the lake, all the cruises, and all the days and nights spent at your house hold so many memories and moments that I will never forget. 

Now, I feel like I see butterflies or the color purple every where I go, and it is always a nice reminder that you are watching over us all.

I’m happy you are free of any pain and that there is another guardian angel looking out for the family.

I love and miss you!

Until we meet again,
Love Michael

Aunt Deni,
 I’m  struggling to try and find the right words.   Because I know there will never be enough words to say how amazing you were.   Lucky for  me anyone who knew you,  knows  the absolute beautiful person you were inside and out.    How you were always there to help anyone , how you loved everyone  and how you always seemed to stay positive no matter the circumstances.  Some of my best memories growing up were the many sleep overs and pool parties with you uncle John  and my cousins.   All the frozen pizzas and pancakes in the morning.   The many many laughs and knowing you loved me.     I feel very fortunate to have been lucky enough to have spent so much time growing up with you.  You will be so very missed I love you and I miss you.  Things won’t be the same without you here.   
                
                                   Love you Josh Crockatt. 

John, 
I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Deni and my heart goes out to you, Jason, Jeff, and Jeremy for your loss. I have so many  wonderful memories of her kindness and humor, all those years we were neighbors. She was a beautiful person, both inside, and out and what always stood out was her unconditional love for her entire family. She leaves such a wonderful legacy to her sons to pass onto their families and wonderful memories. 
 
Sincerely, 
Sharon Hart

Aunt Deni 
It’s taking me a couple days to write something here because I’m having a hard time believing this is real.  I can’t say enough how much I am going to miss you.  I will forever remember all of the memories we have shared. From when I was little, sleeping over at your house. We would order pizza, watch movies, and brush each other’s hair. I think I brushed yours for about five minutes and you brushed mine for an hour. LOL OOPS. All of the family vacations together, we always had so much fun and laughed so hard. You came with me as I found my wedding dress and I’m so happy you got to be there to see that. Now my last memory with you, two weeks before you left this world. We drank wine, wrapped Christmas gifts, painted your nails, and literally talked non stop for 6 hours. I wish I could go back to that day right now, Id stay a little longer and hug you a little harder. My heart aches you are no longer with us, but I’m feeling relief that you are no longer suffering. I also want to thank you for a couple things: being such an amazing aunt, We had a special bond that I will cherish forever and miss so much. Thanks for giving me such awesome cousins, I love how close we all are and support each other through hard times.  And lastly, thanks for being my moms rock.  Please give Grandma a hug for me. I’ll be here trying to fill some big shoes as runner up best friend for mom. 
Love Britt


Deni,
When Misty and Mike married, our family was lucky enough to not just gain a sister-in-law, but her entire, loving family, with you at the forefront.  We have been Blessed to know you and love you and call you family.  The family gatherings were always looked forward to in order to "catch up" on what was happening in each other's corner of the world, so to speak, along with the fun and laughter, and sharing of delicious food and memories.  Thank you for being so inclusive and loving.  You are missed, but never far from our hearts.  
Rest easy now.  I know we all have another angel in heaven watching over us.


Grandma Deni,

From the moment we first met you welcomed me into the family with open arms and became the most amazing grandma I could ever ask for. You were the most warm-hearted woman I have ever met and I am beyond grateful that I got to spend so much time with you. From our weekend long visits to our week-long vacations, i will cherish every moment we shared together. Along with your beautiful heart, you were also incredibly strong and feisty. You were truly one of a kind. As much as it hurts that you are not here to make me your sloppy joes or kick my butt in Farkle, I know you will always be looking down. You fought long and hard grandma, now it’s time to get some rest. 

I love and miss you! 

Deni Penny Wenny, 
I am writing this to you in disbelief that you are no longer with us, although I am sure you are in spirit. As our sisters already mentioned, you were the strength for all of us even though you were suffering the most. I am happy that your pain is gone but I will never get over that we can not be together again. Since childhood, we had so many good times and you have been my protector! Especially when our brother Bill,  bless his soul also,  would be pouncing on me and you would come to save the day every time!  Your visits to Minnesota on Lake Minnetonka will never be forgotten. You loved the water so much. Being on my boat will NEVER be the same again. Just this last summer I have video of you and Misty dancing on the boat. It was so beautiful. 
I love you and miss you so much already. And I will see you again in the next life, so save a seat for me!
Love your Brother,
Stotty Potty Wotty

Dear John
Jacquie and I are saddened to hear about deni.  Our prayers are with you and your family.

A. O. Andy Anderson, CMSgt. 217th EIS (Retired)

Aunt Deni - As I share the news of your passing, I describe you as the kindest person I’ve ever known. You’ve always been there for our family and a wonderful role model to me. I’m so lucky to have had you as my Aunt. My memories of you are abundant but a few that come to mind include sleeping over at your house where I observed you wash your dishes in the hottest of hot water before you put them in the dishwasher, getting Taco Bell after our dance rehearsals, and as adults eating Portillo after our tap class with Aunt Misty. No way will our lives be the same without you but I know you will live on in our hearts. I’ll miss you but I’m thankful you can rest now. 

Love,
Jess

Deni,

I find it a great privilege to have had the opportunity to meet and get to know you. Since your lovely sister, Stacey and I came together and being involved in several family functions, I know that you are loved by all whom were fortunate enough to be around you.  You are greatly missed and always loved!

Den you were the oldest sibling that we all came to for support and understanding. You always had an ear to listen and kind words for everyone. Thank you for being there, I can’t even count the number of times you helped me. 
You are the strongest, kindest woman I know. It’s so hard to believe you’re gone. I’m glad Mom got to heaven just a bit sooner than you to make sure you are ok. I’m so sad to have had to say goodbye. You will truly be missed. I love you Sis 

Deni: I am still in shock and cannot believe you are gone. I want to thank you and your family for taking us in as part of your extended family when Dad and Greta got together. You will never understand how much that meant to me. I used to hear about you guys all the time and Greta loved bragging on the great grandkids. Heaven has a very sweet Angel in you! Rest In Peace friend. Give Dad and Greta a big hug for me - until we meet again, Judy 

I had the honor of working with Misty for a couple of years, and she would share all the beautiful stories of her and her sister, even though Deni battled cancer for years, you would never know it when speaking to either one of them. Misty and Deni are sisters, but best friends they are! The love she showed and shared for Deni was out of this world. I’m so grateful to have met Deni. Deni, you will be forever in our hearts. 💜

Dear Den,

I just want to tell you first and most important how much I love you and how a second doesn’t go by that you are not on my mind. You were “my person” for so very much of my life I am struggling to believe you are gone.  I know in my heart though you are in a better place and not suffering anymore, which brings me happiness.  
We have so so many great memories together,  I’m so grateful.  All our vacations to dads, we had so much fun, the time you tubed and got stuck, we all laughed so hard we peed. The number of scrabble games we played, and you usually won, its ok though.  Our trips to MN to Scott’s, being in the water was your favorite, and drinking margaritas helped also lol.  The many cruises we went on, usually a challenge to get to but we always made it lol, Mike, John, you and I spent a lot of hours in a car together.  There is just so many great fun memories I’ll cherish forever. 
The best is that whenever I called you always answered and we could just talk forever about nothing, we laughed so much during our phone conversations, Mike would always say geez you and Den can laugh about anything.  I will miss your voice so so much, your kind sweet attitude and the way you could always talk me into a good mood and a better way to look at the crap in life.
I believe god has a plan and I think that’s why he called mom up first, to be there to comfort you, I know brother Bill and so many others are there with you and I pray you are all having so much fun together. 
 My life will never be the same, I will miss you everyday. So until we are together again you will always be in my heart and my tattoo will always bring me a gentle reminder of the love we shared, my sweet sister and best friend.  
Love you always and forever
Misty
Ps. Thank you for giving me 3 awesome nephews that I can see parts of you in,  I know how proud you are of them , me too💕

Never have a I met a more loving, caring, kind person.  ALWAYS had a smile on her face.  Was completely there for me when I was struggling during Sue's battle.  You will FOREVER be missed Deni.  I love you with all my heart.  I have YEARS of memories and will cherish them always.  Hope you are tapping along with Sue Deni.  With love.....
