My name is Russell Rogers, I met Dena in 1981 at Glorietta (Church Camp). We spent quite a bit of time together back there, going to the prayer garden and hiking around the mountains. Then we kept in touch for a few months through the mail and talking on the phone. So saddened to here of her passing. She was a sweetheart and I’ll never forget her.
My sincerest condolences to all her family.
