I love this beautiful picture of Mrs. Hunke, the Mother of Denise, my best friend in junior and senior high school and our next door neighbor in Widefield Homes in the 70's! Good old Fay Drive! I remember her as a highly principled, devoted Catholic, whose family and children were the primary love and focus of her life. I know she is dearly missed by many. My condolences to all who knew her; although a few years have passed I know she continues and will continue to have a positive impact as a caring mother.

Thoughts and prayers to the Hunke family. Ms. Joyce was such a wonderful lady. She was my daughter's preschool teacher. She also got to spend time with Ms. Joyce around the elementary school as well. My daughter loved Ms. Joyce so very much. Rest in peace sweet lady.
