She just saw you right before you passed, and one of her 5 kids got real sick, so she couldn't go to eat with you, now she wishes she'd had. I know you remember taking pics. at your mom's house. MY Mom , as you also know, is going to be a grandmother like you guy's talked about , and of course it's me thats pregnant , but you knew that also huh ? I will be 24 soon. Carrie is 18, Meagan is 17 , and the twins , Lynden is,16 and, Ryan is 16 now. Mom misses you , she prays for your family daily!!! You both were so close as tiny ones , and stayed close for 30 some years. I hurt for you , and her , for these moments have come to a close, and it is sad that you can't share new grandbabies together , just memories. Mom loved your family, AND IF POSSSIBLE , please have your mom , Tracy, or Your dad contact mom, she is missisng you. We love you, Denise !!!

My name is Crystal Crispino. I have known Denise for the last 3 years. I am a pharmacy technician at the CVS pharmacy were she got her perscription. When I heard the news of her death I very upset. I cried for her for several days. And I often think of her, I am so sorry for the familes loss, I have never meet any of you, but I feel very sad for all of you. This is a very deep loss for myself. I always talked with Denise every time she came to the Pharmacy, so much so that all my co workers knew she was my customer. I will miss seeing her and Rascal at Cvs.

I wish there were words I could offer that would help in the family's time of great grieving. You will be in my constant prayers. I truly loved Denise and will cherish every wonderful moment she and I had together. She will never be forgotten. She was a beautiful person inside and out who now showers her beauty to those who need her more than we do here on this earth.
