I think I can speak for Josh Burditus and Mallorie Burditus, we have our ups and downs but we focus on the memories of Denise that make us smile.

I also want to comment on the hundreds outpouring of Love, sorrow, kinness flooding onto my social media. I've tried to read everyone of them. These messages are coming in from firends and complete strangers from around the world.

I also received a personal call from West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin this morning passing his condolences and personal phone numbers.

I also want to thank two SF brothers, Tommy Harveston and Jeff Jenny N Jeff Sliwoski. Both have helped me out mostly with their friendship.

Thanks to family and friends for your support back home.
We Love you all,
Tony Burditus
