Growing up with Denise Porter. She always loved animals mostly dogs. Her favorite things were being outside and music. Her favorite music was anything played by Elvis Presley and favorite music was oldies. Denise had a favorite restaurant where she would go with her husband anytime she could but would always make sure she went on her anniversary with her husband. She was also known to go to Krekel's to get her a burger and fries. You always knew when she was in a good mood because she would laugh and stick her tongue out at you. Denise is leaving behind not only a husband but family who wish they would of been there more for her. But now we know she's up there with her mom, dad, and sister but most of all she will always be remembered by the ones who knew her on earth and the love she had for her husband will continue to live on through all of his memories of her.
