To find the words to describe ones gratitude for someone like Denise is a challenge. We truly feel graced by her visit and she left a long lasting impression on our family, and me particularly as a person and as a mother. She is insatiably kind, upbeat, bubbly - therefore a JOY to be around.

She gave us tremendous numbers of ideas and feedback on our ideas from her personal experience. This was invaluable as well. We loved her… read more

What a lovely ranch Jennifer and Marvin have…what kind and generous hosts they are…excellent meals…enjoyable conversations…ALL is good!!
Their vision for the further development of their ranch is exciting, and I hope to help move those visions forward a little each time I visit.

Our family loved having Denise! She’s a hard worker and jumps right in when she sees something that needs done! She helped with organizing and cleaning and also spent time teaching us some handicrafts. The kids especially had a blast with her reading aloud and doing art projects. The weather was rainy or we would have done more outside projects,… read more

Denise 2 day visit made one enormous and very grateful difference in two important projects we were far behind on. She was delightful to have around, very respectful, well mannered and appreciative! Of course in one way we were sorry to see her go but on the other hand much more glad to wish her well as she continued along her journeys to her next… read more
