{I tried to leave my comment on Denise's post link of photo, but need blog author's approval, so I hope you approve: 

"It is my joy, honor and such a privilege to have come to know and love you, my friend and sister in Christ. Words cannot express what a true blessing you are and have been to me. You have been through so much yet I know Jesus is right there with you. 

My dear Denise (a.k.a. Shortybear) I love you and you hold a special place in my heart today and always! {shared your photo with Coco on our Lighthouse of Prayer} You are a true warrior and the sweetest spirit ever... I treasure you just being you! With a heart full of love ~Peggy

[I wanted to enable replies, like my other blog has and use this in the comments, but cannot find where to do that ... it was Oct. 2014 when this prayer team slowed down and I believe that it was because Denise was taken so ill and Alice also, then I looked at November 2014 followed by some posts in March 2016 where I attempted to try again and there I read Denise ... sharing prayers for others and participating as the best team player I could ever ask for ... indeed Denise will be missed. I have so much I'd love to write about Denise, however if you read her sweet prayers, visit her blog, you will discover how easy it is to love her ... Denise deserves a real tribute, but this and her own words and prayers are the best I have at this time. 

Thank you all for your prayers!] 

Post script: 2025 ... from Peggy. It was in 2017 that I met Denise, at her wake & funeral through her family & friends that were there & her dad. We had never met in person, only through blogging yet I couldn't feel any closer to her than if we had

known each other our whole lives. There's only one other blogger that's as close as a sister, or maybe even better than some sisters, but I have

not met her yet in person either. However, she is the best person in every way since our blogging day connection, she has remained near & dear. All 3 of us, will meet some day when God welcomes us home, and what a joyful day that will be! These 2 precious souls crossed my path through our days together blogging online & God couldn't have chosen better sisters & friends to journey together.  

I hope each one of you are as fortunate as yours truly - because though our journeys are different, each of us need special people to walk & encourage us along the way - to be there in all seasons. We miss you dear Denise! And my, how beautiful you were dressed & ready as the bride of Christ (and your Eddie) it was a pleasure & a sorrow; a treasure to have flown from MN to TN to be present with y'all gathered that October day in 2017 ... still holds a fond memory in my heart! It was an honor to be present in your "celebration of the life" of Denise "Shortybear"! Then & now, I think of her often, and she still brings me such joy.
