We are so saddened by her passing yet so thankful she was part of our lives. Sterling has been so blessed by her love and encouragement, we all have. She will be missed!

Denise is a friend that we will miss so very much. We feel very blessed to have had her in our lives. She was the strongest person I have ever known. She will never be forgotten!!!

I’ve cried everyday since I heard about her passing because I just can’t believe she’s gone from here! I do feel peace knowing that she is with God and that while she was on this earth, she had a wonderful life with family and friends who loved her very much!! I’m grateful to have been part of her circle. I cherish the time we spent together…some of the best times in my life were spent with Chris and Denise. You will be missed friend!

Denise was like another daughter.
Sharing joys & heartaches
& confiding in us when she faced this last battle that took her from us.
My companion to events in Waco, Texas & all
the way to Africa !
WWe did not see each other daily, but just knowing she isn’t here leaves us with a hollow feeling. Condolences to Chris, Lyndon, Richard, Margaret, Sterling, Terry & her siblings. Oh yes, and Ralph.

We knew her for a short time, but is a best friend. Love you

Denise was truly a gift to my girls and I. She taught us what it meant to love without conditions, to give without expectations, and to honor those you care about in the most simplistic ways. She was a second mother to my daughters during times I could not be and I will be forever grateful for the love she gave everyday of her life.

We were so blessed to be part of Denise’s journey as we met her and Chris on one of their cruises to circumnavigate the world.
In that short time together we could see the beautiful lady with the infectious smile who showed her love and care for others.
A beautiful sole in heaven. To Chris, Lyndon and Rachel, and the Crossland family our deepest sympathies and prayers. We look forward to seeing Chris her with us “down under” before he completes the final leg of their cruise.

Love Carol & Greg Macallister
