Bella Rose Denova's Obituary
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.
