What can I say about my beautiful sister. Big heart big hair guidette, loving, caring , loved to help others and always gave more than she ever received. So many times people overlook the type of person that really brings joy into this world . I could talk about my sister all day everyday. I was so proud of the person she was and the spirit of life she instilled in us especially during the holidays . She loved family and was very traditional to the point where she wouldn’t give out the family recipes lol. When you lose someone that you were so close to it rips a piece of your heart out. She took a piece of my heart with her to heaven and I will never be the same for the hole in my heart will never be filled by anyone. I will love and miss you forever my little sister. Thank you for your all your love , support , protection, advice. You were more than my sister you were my friend . Hope your smiling because I know your out of pain, finally.
Love, Chris( your finster)
Aunt Denise was an amazing aunt and an amazing person. She was always the sweetest and gave such care and love. I held her very deeply in my heart and always will, she always showed so much love to everyone she cared for. She was one of the easiest person to open up to about a lot of things, especially my transition. She accepted me with open arms and was so happy I was going down a path that made me happier. She always cared about the people around her more than herself. She never missed a beat when it came to my name and pronoun change. She had the kindest heart, kindest laugh and smile that would always light up a room she walked in. Her favorite thing to do was bake and cook for her family, the meals were always delicious and will be greatly missed. One of my favorite things about her is that she never judged anyone and was open to many things, she just showed so much love no matter what. She was just so kindhearted and I loved her and still love her deeply and will forever hold her in my heart.
Aunt Denise was and is an incredible aunt and the best godmother I could ever ask for. I’ve learned so much from her, and the biggest thing I learned from her is how to express love for others. She loved people in such big ways, always making us feel welcome and special. Aunt Denise did everything she could to make every holiday and birthday magical, especially Christmas. Aunt Denise embodied true Christmas spirit as she strived to create warmth and joy in her home and community. She also gave to others with boundless generosity, and showed me what it truly means to be a giver. Aunt Denise knew that the way to people’s hearts is through their stomachs, which reflected in her amazing cooking with timeless family recipes that I will keep close to my heart. Baking with her is probably one of my most cherished memories. Thank you, Aunt Denise, from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me and our family. Thank you for taking the time to make every moment we spent together special. Thank you for all the hugs. Thank you for sharing your love of Christmas with me. Thank you for helping me find the sparkle in life. Although I am sad she is no longer physically with us, I know that her love will continue to shine through the hearts of everyone she knew. I love you, Aunt Denise. To the moon and back, always.
