Denta was artistic and loved to sketch, had a great imagination, which made her a natural storyteller. She always connected immediately with children and gained their trust.
On Wednesday, the 18thof April 2018 Denta spoke to those attending her and told them “I’m going now.” Shortly thereafter she left earth and entered the presence of Jesus in whom she had trusted for eternal life many years ago. We look forward to reuniting with her some day!
