Yay, Denise!

Thank you for always being so wise. It seems when we question certain things that you have a type of innate knowledge. This always astonishes me the way you understand and are in harmony with nature!

Thank you also fopr being such a good friend to not only this entire village, but Lori especially. She values your friendship and so do I. Thank you for all you bring to the village.

I must mention that I will be at Lori's in 27 days and cant wait to meet you then, hope tht our schedules will work!

Congratulations Denise. There are a few ladies here who give off a feeling of warm security, honesty and hard work. You are one of them. I love reading your posts. You always seem to be busy and in control of your life. I LOVE that you are a regular poster in Chosen Path and now that I'm moderating CP with CJ I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the words of wisdom you post in these threads.

You seem to be a loving mother and wife and I'm sure you'd be a great friend too. I just wish I lived closer to you and those raspberries.

Thank you for being a part of the village. I admire how hard you work at your job and still are able to balance family too. I also admire you going to school. I know it can't be easy.

Thank you for sharing your family and pictures with us.

You're so hardworking, strong, caring, and bright. I can see how much you care through your posts and your kindness shines through.

I always want to reach out to you, but never want to pry. Please know that I think about you though. You give so much of yourself to others and I don't know how you do it all.

You're a very special person. Thanks for being you.

Sunshine...what a wonderful "Handle'
It seems to describe You very well.

Thanks for your wisdom...sharing...and your vast knowledge of so many things.

It has been a joy reading your posts & learning many things.

You are truly a wonderful, caring, Family type person.

This "FAN-FARE" is for you, Denise

**captclearance** · 06-24-2004, 07:53 PM

I would like to say knowing Denise is a PRIVILEGE !!!!!!
She is warm and caring and she is most sincere..... She doesn't pretend to be anything she's not.... She doesn't need to, she is intelligent and very grounded......she is very resourceful and an analytical thinker. She is wise, generous and kind. I enjoy her company and that of her family. Her children are wonderful people and her husband is as kind and warm as she is. I have learned a great deal from here. She is a good soul !!!!!
I am honored to know her and consider her a friend.

**sunshine** · 06-24-2004, 11:09 PM

Thanks everyone-- I'm just pleased to a part of such a loving , caring community. Too often I've seen hatred, bitterness and pettiness with many online boards. None of that is apparent here, and I love each and every one of you.

Lori has been to my house-- she knows my dirty little secrets

Robin-- I'm counting on seeing you when you are in the area.

Thanks again all!
