Denise Ann Graham

Mom fiercely loved her children, providing wonderful stories and inspiration for how she protected us and fought for us. She was an amazing backgammon player, consistently rolling doubles and gleefully laughing as she would defeat us all. We loved going to musicals, and she danced in her seat at every show! So much of her rebellious spirit and love of justice shaped who I am and how I see the world. She was an amazing cook who never needed a recipe. She loved the Beatles. I miss her smile and the spark in her eye, telling you she was up to something! She connected with people in such special quiet ways. It is a comfort that she is with Dad, as she missed her best friend these last 5 years.
