Hi I'm Bob ex-husband of Denise some of you knew her and all of you knew of her from me telling you about my life with her and how much I always loved her well for those who didn't know Denise passed away on Sept 12 03 from complications of liver cancer

I just wanted to write something and get it sent out as my remembrance of a wonderful person that I had the great pleasure of spending 20 years with

Denise and I met roller skating one night and hit it off really well I drove her home and we sat on her front steps till am talking and laughing and when I kissed her good night I knew at that point I wanted to spend a long long time with her it wasn't long after that we got our first apartment together and it was rough at first but we didn't care we were young and in love and that's all that mattered

after a few years living together she asked me to marry her yes she asked me not that I wouldn't have asked her she just beat me to it :-) and of course I said yes
we then moved to a bigger apartment and got married a year later it was a small wedding with a justice of the peace she was gorgeous I'll never forget how beautiful she was that day most of my aunts and uncles were whispering around when is she do that kind of pissed us both off a bit but we used to laugh about it later on she wasn't pregnant we got married because we wanted to and because we were in love

2 years after that we had our first son Tyler born on 10-1-91 he caused a ton of stress on us both before and after he was born but was worth every bit of it she got huge while carrying him but was still the sexiest girl I ever saw he was a handful as a baby but she was a great mom and did a wonderful job raising him being a mom came pretty easy to her 2 years after Tyler we had Corey on 2-28-94 he seemed to come along a lot easier we didn't have the same complications as with Tyler and Tyler was so excited to have a brother and he was a big help taking care of him and still is :-) couldn't ask for better kids

about 2 years after Corey was born Denise and I started to drift apart I don't know why it happened or when it actually started but it was the beginning of the end of our marriage Denise soon asked me for a divorce and I just said ok I didn't know what else to say and I moved out a short time later that's when it hit me this was for real and I was going to loss one of the best things that ever happened to me and I cried everyday for what seemed like years but I never stopped loving her and I have to say sorry to 2 girls that I dated during the 6 years I was divorced because I never stopped loving Denise I hurt the feelings of 2 people not on purpose but I still did and for that I am sorry Mary and Jennifer

about a year after Denise and I were divorced she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer for those who don't know what stage 4 means it is terminal and she was given 6 month to live we were devastated and I spent 3 days spending the nights doing my best to comfort her chemo started a few days later and I went to every doctor appointment and treatment surgery and follow up visit and the cancer went into remission she recovered completely and life went on she and I stayed very close and all this seemed to bring us together again but there was still no chance of us getting back together :-(

a few years later she had a medical emergency and during that they found the cancer came back in her liver and it all started all over again and I promised I would do everything in my power to take care of her till she got better again unfortunately this time she didn't get better about a 1 1/2 years later she died from complications of the cancer now all I can do is promise her I will take the very best care of our kids and that she will always be in our hearts forever

till we meet again
I love you with all my heart
Bob
