Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Theo Denson was a living earthly angel and dear person. I was so so shocked and sad to learn of her passing but I am sure she is resting in peace in the company of her husband and my cousin, Randolph Denson. Thoughts and prayers for the whole family. She will be greatly missed.
Mothers hold their children’s hand for a short while, but their hearts forever. Toni, may the Lord be with you and your family at this time of great loss.
This is sad news. I feel blessed to have known this beautiful woman. It only took a moment for her to fill my heart with the love she had for everyone she met. I shall miss her. I know God will smile and say welcome, when she stands at the open gate. May the Lord bless her and her family. Always.

What a wonderful legacy Ms Theo leaves with us all. She was a Godly woman and it showed in the way she lived her life and raised her girls. I most remember how she helped make my wedding day so special, with all the hard work and food preparation that she did. She was always so loving and asking how you where and truly made you feel loved when you were in her home. I loved her and the extraordinary mother she was. Toni, Kim and the family, I am so glad that she was with you all in the end and that you had the chance to show her how much she was loved by you all. I will continue to pray for you and will always be here if you need me.
