Bella Rose Denova

In loving memory of Bella Rose Denova, a remarkable soul whose journey defied all odds and touched the hearts of everyone she encountered. Born on June 29, 2003, with the rare genetic disorder Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency (PDCD), Bella's fight for life taught her family the power of love, humility, and grace. Despite the initial prognosis, Bella's life exceeded all expectations, shining brightly until August 16, 2023 when complications from her disease finally took her to heaven. Bella's parents, Lisa and Kevin, along with her sister Tula, created a nurturing environment where Bella thrived. Nestled within the warm embrace of her home, Bella experienced the profound care of her mother, Lisa, whose unwavering dedication, fierce advocacy and endless love ensured that Bella's every need was met. The close sisterly connection that Tula shared with Bella created a sanctuary of affection and love and Tula’s melodic guitar playing added a comforting and joyous atmosphere to Bella's life, bringing both smiles and serenity in perfect harmony. Kevin's profound affection and love for his daughter was evident in every moment they shared; weekends were filled with treasured moments and unbreakable bonds. He stood by Lisa's side, as a pillar of support, and his willingness to lend a helping hand knew no bounds. Bella Rose Denova's legacy is one of strength, resilience, and the extraordinary power of love. She taught us to embrace each moment, to defy limitations, and to cherish the bonds that unite us. While her physical presence may be gone, her spirit will forever inspire us to live with purpose, love without boundaries, and find strength in the face of adversity. Bella's memory will continue to shine brightly in our hearts, she will forever be remembered for the joy she brought and love she inspired in all who knew her. In remembrance, contribution in Bella's honor may be made to United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation. https://give.umdf.org/give/153589/#!/donation/checkout Bella will be laid to rest at the Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery in Gainesville, Florida on Friday, August 25 at 10:00 A.M.
