With Every Step, a Memory was commissioned by the family of Denise Hughes as a tribute to her memory and a recognition of her long and courageous battle with cancer. Her husband, Frank, often referred to her as the center of their family and spoke glowingly of how she battled her disease in such a determined and dignified manner. She was a wonderful wife, mother, teacher and human being and this piece in intended to commemorate these aspects of her life.
