My heartfelt sympathy to the family - I've known Denise for the 5 years I've worked in the Group Practice Department at UHC and have always appreciated not only her strong professionalism and dedication, but also (and especially) her quick wit and the friendly conversations we shared by phone or at meetings. God bless.

Denise and I have been very good friends for over 20 years. I met her when working @ Stanford and remained friends throughout her moves to Washington DC and mine to Washington state.

I loved her dearly and was shocked to hear about her passing.

I just got a voicemail from her on her birthday, which I quickly responded to, sang her Happy Birthday and told her how much I loved her.

Please know that my heart is with all of you. She touched my life in ways that will be with me for the rest of my life.

She will be missed.
