Although I have not known Denise for very long, I feel honored to have had the pleasure of meeting her in September when I started driving Micah on my school bus. I will always remember her bubbly personality and smile. Please know that I will take extra care of Micah on the school bus. My deepest condolences.

I'm so sorry for your loss! My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Your wife/mom was a wonderful person and great friend. Although we didn't see each other as much as we wanted, we always kept in contact. Her greatest joy was her children, husband and her love and fear of God!
I will always remember Denise and will treasure the time I was blessed to have known her! Love you always Denise!

In Memory of Denise Marie Pence

If I only had five minutes the day you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.

I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were a true friend, better than any one could be.

The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said I love you,
and kept you on the phone.

If I only had five minutes,
the morning you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile.
I'd tell you that I don't even want to think of a life without you,
not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go
And tell you that I'll miss you,
more than you'll ever know.

But you were gone so quickly,
One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it,
you were standing at heavens gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven, Denise,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
Please be there to bring me home.

Russ and children my deepest sympathy to you and your family. My sister Bobbi and I attended school with Denise. I hadn't seen her in years but she found me on facebook. Denise was just so happy and full of lfe. The love she had for you and her children especially Micah was very heartwarming. I loved your love story as it was alot like mine as I reconnected with my high school love. Heaven has truly gained an Angel. Just know in the quiet times you will know she is with you her love for all of you is eternal. I pray that god helps you thru this terrible time to help you heal and know that you were all truly loved. R.I.P Darling Denise you left a big mark on everyone you touched and you will never be forgotten.

We had a lot of good laughs together and I know she is in heaven's kingdom waiting for us all. God bless her family.

Love and prayers to all of Denise's friends and family!… I seen this poem and I wanted to share it…
"WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME"

When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn’t cry
The Way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you will miss me too

When tomorrow starts with out me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And That I would have to leave behind
All those I Dearly Love

But When I walked through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
When GOD looked down and smiled at me
From his golden throne

He said This Is Eternity
And All I promised you
Today for life on earth is done
But Here it starts a new

I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And Since each day’s the exact same way
There is no longing for the past

So When Tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we’re apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I’m right here in your heart

Losing Denise this soon is still difficult for me to process. I am at a loss for words. She has been my friend for about forty years. We shared hours of our lives together laughing, crying, and having fun. It makes me so sad to think that no one here on Earth has those memories with me anymore. Denise has been through so much, but I find comfort in knowing how happy she was being married to Rusty. These things I know for sure, her husband and children meant the world to her, she was a positive, uplifting person, a true friend, and had an unwavering faith in God. She showed me who Jesus really was those 40 years ago. I love you my precious friend. I will never, ever forget you. You are in my heart. Rest in Jesus' arms. ❤️💔

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful, ray of sunshine that you named Denise on the day she was born...Denise was always sunny and bright, even through times I'm sure she didn't want to be sunny...her personality was as golden as her hair!
The love of God shined through her like beacon in the dark showing the way to Jesus! I'm not sure how except through the grace of God that you make it!!! Your strength and determination through trying times has always been an inspiration! Know that I am praying for you and crying with you...the world lost one of its' brightest lights!!! May God's Spirit hover over you with His love and comfort at this a most difficult time...
