Happy Birthday Denise!

Today many people are thinking of you, and while we are incredibly sad for our loss, we also celebrate the joy of your life...

I raise a toast in your honor: Happy Birthday Denise, you are greatly missed, dear friend.

I second your toast, Laura. Denise has been on my mind all day. We spent a few of her birthdays together - dinner on the Nautical Mile around the corner from our house and also at this great eclectic restaurant in Sea Cliff, Tupelo Honey.

However, her last birthday here on Earth, I completely forgot! When I realized my forgetfulness a week or two later and called her, she was her typical sweet self and of course told me "no worries".

We have the luxury of having several phone messages from Denise on our answering machine at home. It doesn't matter what she's saying. It's just nice to hear her voice, the always cheerful "Hey, Ruth" greeting, even when she wasn't feeling well.
I think I'll go home and play it tonight.

Happy Birthday in Heaven, Denise! You are missed.

Love,
Ruth and Jack Sandhaas
