I am saddened to learn of Denice's passing. She was kind, gracious, and generous to me in the context of our mutual involvement in an earlier incarnation of Cherry Hill Seminary. She arranged for me to speak at St. Lawrence University, in addition to many other kindnesses. My sympathy to her daughters. What is remembered lives.
