    Denise was a person you couldn’t help but like. She had a fantastic sense of humor. She was quick witted and priceless sarcastic. I loved her no-nonsense attitude and the person she was.

Denise said, “It’ll be a cold day in hell before they get this ass of mine into a skirt. This is a bar in Meeker, NOT Hooters!” Nobody was going to tell her how it was going to be. She’d have walked and never looked back. And they’d have lost an excellent employee.
    I’ll miss you Denise. You were one of a kind!
