To Daena’s family-
I am so sad to hear of Daena’s passing. I had worked with Denise and have followed Daena’s adventures on Facebook for many years. My granddaughter and I fondly read about her travels with her American Girl dolls, their trips to the spa and other amazing destinations. She had an amazing spirit and energy.

Sorry for your loss of your dear loved one.

Dear family of Daena,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. As a young person with younger brothers and sisters, I cannot imagine how difficult this time must be for your family. I would like to share an encouraging message with you. It says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away”(Revelation 21:4). Here, God promises us that soon, we will not loose people that we love to death. I hope that your family finds much comfort and hope during this time. For more encouraging messages, please visit www.jw.org.
Sincerely,
Kristen

Dear Parmenter Family,
When we first moved to Columbia, there was a gazebo lighting, and we had the privilege of sitting at the same table as you guys. I have also seen you guys in passing, WOW, and other HWP functions. Daena was such a light, a joy, a beautiful person. Sending our deepest sympathies during this very difficult time. She will never be forgotten!

Dear Denise,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved daughter. I wish you and your family strength during this difficult time, and hope that you are able to find some comfort in her memory.
I recently came across this quote which I find to be a beautiful sentiment:

"Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."

May her memory forever be a blessing.
With sympathy,

Isaac Stein

Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Kay, David and Denise,
Being in Vermont my times seeing Daena were short but memorable. She was a beautiful angel and my heart hurt when I heard the news! I am so sorry for your loss and know she is now free and out of pain but it doesn't make the sadness and loss any better at the time.
I unfortunately cannot make the services but know a donation to the camp in her name will be done. May you find peace in her memories

To the Parmenter Family:
Daena was a JOY to teach, and always had a smile and a funny comment to make in the art room! When she showed up, it would literally light up the room. All eyes were on Daena, who truly was a princess and a delightful human being.
I hope you have her artwork displayed proudly in your home, as even though she may have not felt well, she always pressed through and finished her projects!! She remains a testimony of strength, faith, persistence, love and acceptance and I will forever remember her as an example to her generation of these traits! Love you all, and big hugs from me.

The world is a better place because Daena made it that way. My life has been enriched because I was fortunate enough to share some of it with that little darling. I will hold my "Daena memories" close and call on them when I need a smile. Daena will be missed, but NEVER forgotten.
