3 years ago i met you in germany, you was always a professional nco, great at pt and your job. Love you and miss you
Denise will always be remembered for her smile, her hugs and giving personality. You will be forever missed.
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Tynesha here in Montgomery as we went to school together. We then met up again when we were stationed together in Korea. I can still hear her laugh. I renter when she was pregnant and the baby would always move, we laugh and say she was dancing. We even came up with a dance that we thought she was doing. Fly high friend and tell my daddy I said hi and I love him.
God rest this beautiful woman. We were neighbors. .Denise. and my daughter were friends. This was a major blow to our whole community. Rest in peace, and live again. Trust that your beautiful daughter will be well taken care of. Hooah, my sister.
We called her McKnight!!!! She had a beautiful smile, kind heart, and she was always professional. She loved her daughter so much! We were stationed together in2010 at Fort Jackson, then we were also deployed together Afghanistan in 2013. She will be missed. Rest in Heaven and let your wings fly.
Rest in peace!! Thank you for all you did you will be missed
