Front door with some hearts in evidence.

Small ceremony by a nephew, with anecdotes shared by many.

One of two photo boards of D's life.

A few shots of family at Denise's celebration last Sunday, Valentine's Day.   Well done and well attended by D"s family and by friends from as far back as high school and as far away as New Jersey.  Tom had the event catered and also had valet parking, which made it much more enjoyable for everyone.  Brandon put together an extensive slide show of Denise's life which ran continuously downstairs and up.  Spencer created the memorial card.  The theme was hearts, and there were hearts everywhere.  Marilyn, also one of D's favorite themes, also made an appearance.  And by the front door was a large basket of Ty stuffed dolls and Beanie Babies -- from the time when D worked as an account executive for them -- for guests to take.
