Love Mom & Michael & Kelsie Say "I Love You Dad"
When tomorrow starts without me
If the sun came out and found your eyes filled with tears for me;
I so wanted you not to cry like you did today
While we thought about many things, we couldn't say them.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you
And every time you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;
But if tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name and took my hand
And said my place was ready in heaven
And that I would have to leave behind everyone I love very much.
But when I turned to leave, a tear fell from my eye.
All my life I always thought I didn't want to die.
He had so much to live for, so much to do.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good and the bad
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday just for a while
I would say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
So if tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're too far apart
Every time you think of me, I'm here in your heart.

Denise Higgins
On this first anniversary of the tragic loss of one of these beautiful people in this area, we celebrate the short life of Denise Higgins. She was loved by people and pets alike. She has spent twenty years lovingly caring for pets in her grooming business. One of the people who worked with her was telling another of her co-workers that if you couldn't work with Denise, you couldn't work with anyone else. She was my angel and companion. It was a pleasure to take her on a journey to places she never imagined. She was so grateful for every little thing life sent her. I have a hard time understanding why her Lord and Savior chose to cut her life short. He must have had something very important he wanted from her. Those of us who knew and loved her still wonder why we were only allowed seven years of her loving presence. She is gone, but definitely not forgotten. -Charles Swain-
Denise and I have known each other for many years. Our love for animals brought us together. Soon we became part of each other's lives. Our world is full of unanswered questions and things that don't seem fair. But our lives are like a jigsaw puzzle and sooner or later I think the pieces will fall into place. Denise and I always talked about heaven and she believed that on the way she would go to the nursery first and cradle the child she never had. Only then would I really be in heaven. Denise was my teacher and my friend. You know that feeling when you're on a long trip and you finally get home? Well, when I was with Denise, I was home. We've both had many challenges in our lives and Denise has overcome them all. she must travel, she had a boyfriend who loved her very much. He had a loving mother, wonderful siblings and many animals that filled his life with love. She was there for me when I was suffering from cancer. She became Santa Claus to my children and at times she went beyond being a friend and became a mother; She considered my children as her own. My kids still remember her good food and her sweet potato empanadas. She helped me be the mother I never had while she was still the sister I never had. It went beyond friendship... She was my family. She was not only my friend, but also my teacher. Through his gift with animals, he has given me the opportunity to do what we both love. dr. Wheeler, a client, came to see me on Sunday and said, "Melissa, you need to carry on your legacy." She and I have always talked about carrying on her legacy and I promise to honor her memory in some way. She is now and always will be a part of my heart. While it may not seem fair, I know that Denise is happy with her life after many challenges. She felt accomplished and made a happy wife. She was fine with everything. I know he was happy with her life. Her puzzle pieces came together before she died. As I helped her pack her belongings the other day, I realized how important it was that the things she believed in and the things she held deep in her heart were treasured and never forgotten. She truly lived the greatest commandment the Lord gave us. She loved her neighbor as she herself lived. I'm sure a part of Denise will always be with me. -Melissa Cascio-
