I posted this once but it is not showing so I must have done something wrong.
Dena was my Godmother and one the kindest, sweetest and loving people I have ever known. She was such a close friend to my mother and our family it will never be the same without her. Every single year until I was 21 I got a birthday card from her addressed to Junior Taber. She called me Junior until I was almost 30. I recall when I was young I always looked forward to going to visit Dena because she would always make sure there was a treat for me. I recall many times my mother would say no, but Dena would insist and say come on Geneva a little treat won't hurt after all he is a growing boy. On occasion she would sneak me a treat if needed. When I got into High School she had Cindy help get me a job at Henry's Drive In. I started the job my first day of High School and worked there for 3 years. During that time Cindy and I became good friends and have remained so over the years. I will miss Dena and the sweet smile she always used to give me. Cindy and Judy I am sorry for your loss, I know how difficult the last few years have been and the types of things you have gone through. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you and if there is anything I can do please let me now. Dena I will miss you and the world is a much better place for having you in it.
Love
Junior
