Denita McCall

CAP & TFTPTF Member but more importantly...
Beloved Mother, Wife, Friend and U.S. Marine

Denita was a fighter until the very end. She lost her battle in July 2009 during the CAP Meeting. The CAP Members found it only appropriate and much deserved to set up a memorial table for her at the October CAP Meeting. A moment of silence was held for Denita. She is sorely missed by all and she and her family will forever be in our hearts and minds.
