    Ms Dena never met a stranger. Even when she tried to be grumpy she was still the sweetest woman ever, with a heart of gold.
    Ms Dena, you will truly be missed. I remember having conversations with you about heaven. Rest in love my dear Dena, Your Sunshine.

    I met Ms. Dena several years ago when we both lived at the Summit House apartment complex. Dena was a sweet soul; caring and a joy to talk to. She was always looking forward to seeing her son, John when he would come to spend time with her. She spoke highly of her Church and always shared her love of Christ. Rest well dear friend. My condolences to her family and friends.

    Ms. Robison was a caring person. She truly her family and friends. I was a caregiver for her son John Robinson. I wold called her Ms. Robinson knowly she wanted me to call her Dena. I would explain to her that was just my upbringing. We would just laugh. Ms. Robinson continue to take your rest. Condolences to the family in times of uncertainties. May God continue to strengthen you all.
