My Deepest Condolences to the Entire Family
My deepest condolences to Bobbie, Buster, Michael and Carol, along with the entire Denson family. I also extend my sincere sympathy to the White, Hammond, and Thomas families. We have truly lost a wonderful treasure, but a life well lived. Aunt Dot was special and dear to my heart. She was kind and always pleasant to be around. I loved everything about her. Aunt Dot was a godly and righteous woman. She had a presence about her that commanded your respect. Yet she knew how to have fun and share a good laugh. She was a strong woman with noble character. Aunt Dot was truly an example of a Proverbs 31:10-29, woman. I will cherish the times I got to spent with her. I will miss her smile, her words of encouragement, the way she knew how to make you feel special, and most of all her love. Aunt Dot may you rest in peace. I love you forever.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15
