Lil and Rodney McLean regret very much our inability to be with you in Brandon during these times but as you know we are facing our own hills to climb. I am reminded of an Irish saying at these times: When God puts you on a rocky road He will also give you strong boots. We remember that Denise was always so positive and cheerful and as a health care professional found her work challenging and important. As a result her even temperament, natural empathy for others and her skills would have made her a valuable addition to the health district and to the people and families who would turn to her for advice and support. May you find peace in knowing that Denise made a difference in the lives of everyone she touched and her joy for life will continue on in those who were blessed to know her.
