Denise you were the best friend a girl could every ask for. You set a prefect example of what a true friend is. Your smile would light up a room and you never meet a stranger.You loved your family unconditionally. Your dad was your Hero and Your mom your best friend. Brother Ronnie you two had your up's and down's like any brother and sister but you would always say if I every needed anything he would be right there.Then there were her nieces she loved them and was so proud of them.Them there was Scott he was the love of her life. She would tell me the little things he would do for her and how he made her laugh and when she was in the hospital how he never wanted to leave her.When they got engaged she was so proud of her ring.Aunt Tammie was like a sister she never had they did a lot together and she was always there when she needed her.My thoughts and prayers will be with Denise and her family always. What a wonderful angel, friend and saint we have watching over us.They always say god picks the most beautiful and perfect flower to complete his arrangement in heaven and I truly believe that.May God Bless You and Your family.

Each child of God, and we are all His children, has a story and part of my own story was intermingled with my childhood friend Denise Ann.  We played together, laughed together and fought like siblings.   Mostly, she shared her parents with me, without jealousy,  and in the deepest sense of  love.  She joined our Lord and Savior this December.   I've been thinking of some of the times we shared as children and wanted to share a few.

Summers in Junction

Before Fredericksburg was anything and a family with a motor home was a big deal,  we would head out for the deer lease in the Winnebago loaded with good eats, some adults and a bunch of kids.   As we rolled along the highway, we played dominoes, black jack and pitch with nickels and dimes.   Denise's brother would aggravate us and we would antagonize him by ganging up to tattle or trick him into losing in a card game.   We were about seven or eight, but Denise seemed so much more mature than me and took on the role of big sister.

There was a natural spring on the land in Junction that bubbled into a cool pool for swimming.   The water was clear and soothing and out in the middle was an ancient boulder where the water was so deep the bottom was no where to be seen.  Somehow we made it over and stood like Jane of the jungle on the top of the rock.   I would never jump off  into the wild blue yonder on my own and had no plans of doing so that day.  Denise thought otherwise.   She pushed me off and I swam for dear life to get to the shallow part.   I was furious as she laughed when I asked her what she would have done if I had drowned.  Quite calmly,  and completely in charge,  she replied in her matter of  fact tone, ” I would have saved you.”  So she would have and did many times after.  I became a strong swimmer that summer.   We had many summers in water there, on the Brazos, at the SPJST pool and other places I can't recall the names of and we always stuck together.  I hope Denise swims in a pool of crisp cool water again with the heavens beaming around her.

Chappell Hill

From the dune buggy, tractor, four wheeler and her first pick up, we ran the pasture and the river fearlessly.  It was a child's paradise on the weekend and holidays and I loved being included on those trips.   We attended our first dance at Silver Wings with her older cousins and aunts.   We hounded  the sand barges of the Brazos with her cousins and uncles.   There were picnics, card games, church bazaars, fishing and cooking, family and friends who popped in to visit at the house on the hill.  It was the best of times with sweet memories ingrained in me of simpler days.

Denise's Polish grandma, called Busia and pronounced Busha,  had tiny chickens with tiny eggs that we collected.  Busia's house was down the hill from the weekend house and we visited every time to collect those eggs and see what was cooking in her kitchen.   She was my first memory of a real grandma and I loved her country house especially the kitchen where she rolled out and cut wide egg noodles on her table.  I can still see her in my mind with her rolling-pin stooped over the table.   The kitchen smelled amazing and the soup that she served with those egg noodles compare to nothing I have had since.   Busia made more than just good food.  She crocheted adorable poodles around Ivory soap for Denise and then me.   The last time we were there, we hung  freshly starched curtains in that kitchen.   I hope Denise is in her grandma's heavenly kitchen enjoying those egg noodles looking out the window at emerald green pastures.

Daddy

Only a daddy's girl could talk her father into buying a white horse with blue eyes.   Denise did just that and that crazy white horse was named “Spook”.   We rode him in a fenced pasture and her daddy never let us out of  his sight.   Then there was the sparkly red bass boat named, “My Dee Dee”, Denise's nickname from her daddy.   We spent summers on Houston County Lake while he drove “My Dee Dee”,  circling and circling so that everyone could have a turn at trying to ski.  We night fished for crappie on Somerville and he never complained about prissy little girls being in the way.   He kept all the gadgets and motors running on the various mechanical toys.  He watched over us when things were a little dangerous never mentioning it to a doting mom.  He gave us our freedom and taught us how to read the directions before assembly.  One simple rule that could be applied to most things in life.   Denise had his common sense and mechanical ability.   Both would come in handy when we got into trouble or helped someone else out of a jam like the times she would tell me to get out and lock the hub so we could use her four-wheel drive pick up to pull someone out of a ditch.   Denise  was a daddy's girl.   Only a little girl, confident in her daddy's love, could share him with me on my wedding day when he walked me down the aisle and gave me away. I hope Denise is in the presence of God knowing the same,  yet greater love, of her Heavenly Father.

Momma

Waking up to a warm wash cloth was such a loving and novel thing to me when I was with Denise.   Her momma did that everyday of Denise's childhood with love and tenderness to wake her children and I was privileged to be included.   She chaperoned, baked, cleaned, washed, ironed, decorated, volunteered,  chauffeured, waited up nights and prayed.   There was always a carload of extra kids to take to school and snacks for too many after school.    She is my best memory of a mom and I would pull those memories from childhood many times when I was able to stay at home with my children.    Denise never minded sharing her mother or it never showed.   Her momma could love more than just her own,  and Denise loved others in the same way, pulling friends into her inner circle even just for a meal when they most needed a mother's love.   Both mother and daughter took the simple art of homemaking and cooking and provided a ministry of comfort and fellowship to others.   Over the years, there have been wedding cakes, cookies, roasts, barbeques, salsa and the most amazing homegrown pickles.    I hope Denise is cooking a feast in Heaven for all of her loved ones already  there and she can hear all of her momma's  prayers while she works.

Our Hope

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

To believe in everlasting life is  to worship God Himself.  It is the promise to be reunited with our loved ones.  It is part of our faith, written in His Word, and the longing of believers to be in Heaven.   Those of us left behind must remain here holding on to this promise ourselves, working out our faith, and finishing a good race and overcoming this world to enter into His presence.  This is a free gift offered to us through Jesus Christ with no string, no requirement other than to believe.    Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6.   I know Denise knows Jesus who is Our Hope.

Denise,

   Your body and mind has left me.  I will always have your memories in my heart.  I know you are pain free, totally happy for your eyes have now seen GOD.  What a wonderful gift. You have received, you earned it with all you kindness...

                 Love you,
               Aunt Tammie

Very shocked and saddened to hear of Denise's passing. She was a good friend in high school. I remember the wonderful cakes she made. I lost track of her, but her sweetness and kindness never left my thoughts. She will be missed

My heart is still aching over losing Denise.  She was a awesome friend and wonderful person, it was my pleasure to grow up with her.  She had a profound influence on my life, I am lucky that God gave me such a gift.  I am so glad that I got to make it in for one last run to Chappell Hill.  The memories will be in my heart forever.  We shared so many good times over the years.

To Denise's family, may God help you find some comfort in this difficult time.  Thank you so much for being so good to me, you are truly a wonderful family.  Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you.

Thinking of you and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Florence, Sigmund, & Famly,
Our hearts go out to you in this time of grief. I know that Denise is in Heaven now and is in no more pain. What a celebration thay are having there this Christmas, welcoming such a sweet angel. May the Lord uplift and sustain you all during the coming days as you adjust to this great loss.

Sincerely,
Linda & Phil Johnson

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I had the pleasure of working with Denise at Lepow Dental for many years.  She was always such a blessing and had such a pure heart. I would walk in the door on a Saturday and always know when she was in the office because there was all kind of goodies at the front desk. =) I'm truly sorry for the loss of such a beautiful person but blessed to know there is an amazing angel watching over us and that she is in her eternal peace with our Lord. May God comfort her family in this time of need.

I had the pleasure of working with Denise at Lepow Dental.  She was such an amazing person with a huge heart.  She would always bring us goodies.  Dear God please wrap her family in your loving arms during this difficult time.  And please give them comfort in knowing that she touched so many lives.  God has a new angel in his army.  RIP

So sad to hear the news of Denise's passing. She was a very dear friend to us. When you think of Denise the thoughts that come so quickly to our minds are that she was a cowgirl for sure, a great person and personality overall, always smiling, loving heart and a super great cook just to name a few. She will be missed so much by so many. To her family, just know GOD will see you through the difficult days ahead. Rest in Peace Denise.

Denise was so sweet and kind.  She was always so friendly- never knew a stranger and if she didn't know you she probably knew someone who did. She had a beautiful heart and smile that was always welcoming.  She had a great sense of humor and the most entertaining stories.  Not to mention the most amazing talent when it came to the kitchen...she was such a fantastic cook. She always remembered things and details you may have never realized she noticed and was a wonderful hygienist, friend and woman.  It was awesome to see her so happy when she met Scott!  She just glowed.  Please know I only knew Denise a short while...but with her it didn't matter because she was such a great person and so easy to befriend you felt like it was years and years. It was so sudden and I know she is at rest...and heaven got the better end of the deal because she is probably up there cooking, making her amazing cheese cake or breakfast coffee cake right now.  = )  She is already missed and we will all miss her.  But I know she is an angel above us watching us all guiding us, telling us how it is or just hanging out and meeting more friends up there.  My prayers and warm thoughts go out to all of her loved ones, family and friends in this sudden loss of such a dear amazing woman.  May her memories and joys she shared with us all bring you peace and love.  That she is still with us because she touched our hearts and lives. Denise was loved by so many.

God bless- Katrina Knox

My deepest sympathy to the bereaved family of Ms. Lewandowski. May the GOD of all comfort provide you with whatever is needed so you can cope with your great loss.

John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

A geat saddness swept over the Bellmar community as the news spread quickly through-out the neighborhood, that Denise had gone to heaven to live with Jesus! Denise was loved by everyone in the Bellmar community and played such a vital roll in our neighborhood. She grew up in the Bellmar community.. where her parents Sigmund and Florence still reside. Denise loved the neighborhood so much that she purchased a home on Northline Dr. where she lived until she married Scott Turner. Denise and Scott, have a beautiful home in the Hempstead area. Denise, you are so loved and will be missed....Your memory will remain forever in our hearts and lives! Our love and prayers are with each member of the Lewandowski Family...especially Florence, Sigmund, Ronnie & Tammie!

Florence, Sigmund, and Family,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Denise's passing. I've known her my entire life and have always considered all of you family. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up in the cul-de-sac with all of you! You definitely don't find neighbors like that anymore; you all treated me like your own. Denise was always so sweet and such a delightful person to be around. Even though it's been a few years, I think of you all very often and my dad keeps  me updated. She will be deeply missed, I pray you find comfort in the Lord. I love you all so very much!!

To the family of Denise Lewandowski Turner,  
I can't tell you how sadden I was to hear that Denise was called home by God to because a gardian angel of all. Denise was a life long friend of my sisters Rachel and Rhonda. I can vivdly see her in my mind hanging out with my sisters and as the younger of the bunch following and watching their every move as teenagers. Denise embodied the term cowgirl and loved Texas as only a GRIT (GIRL RAISED IN TEXAS) could do.  I can remember he love for baking cakes as early as the 80's. Her spirt will live with us for ever.  And yes as stated in early post I think Denise would say..."This is where the TEXAS cowgirl rides away..."

I can't think of Denise without smiling.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family.

Dear Scott, Florence, Sigmund, Ronnie, Tammie and family, please accept our deepest sympathy, no words could tell the feelings I have for the lose of Denise.May her soul rest in peace in God's loving care where there is no pain.Mys'le o Tobie.
Love and Prayers,
Virginia and Carl Gutkowski

Will always be remembered.You were a neighbor and a friend of my family that will never be forgotten... I also remember throughout my early childhood years of growing up I could run down the street to your house or catch you driving by waving you down for a jar of that awesome" HOT SAUCE " .May you fly high above all of us but will always have a place in my heart!!!!   -Blake Bollom-

My prayers and condolences go out to the family.  I went to school with Denise at SPX and remember her as always sweet and smiling.  May she rest in peace ... And may God and the Holy Spirit provide the family with the strength and peace during this most difficult time.

God has taken another Angel to heaven to watch over us. Denise had a beautiful smile and always wanted others to smile and be happy.

She will truly be missed by all however we have peace knowing she's no longer suffering. May God bless her family during the days ahead. She was a genuine cowgirl who loved her heritage and demonstrated that in all aspects of her life. You filled our hearts with lots of love and you left us way to soon.

Take comfort in knowing that you have a beloved Guardian Angel to watch over you. Treasure the memories and hold them tight. Denise will be missed by all who knew her. May God Bless you and let Denise rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Denise. She was in my class at SPX and always had a smile for anyone she came across. May she rest in peace. Prayers to your family.

Sorry to hear that she is gone
