I was very saddened to hear of Denise's passing. My friend and I were recently reminiscing about how much we enjoyed shopping at her store, Heavens to Betsy. I particularly cherish a set of silver dove candle holders that I purchased there. They will be a symbol of the light she brought to this world. She exuded enthusiasm and joy which fortunately will continue to shine through her art. My heartfelt condolences to Denise's loving family and friends.

Dear Rocky, Marie-Anne, Phillipe, Dom and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Denise´s passing. She was a lovely, generous and kind neighbour. I remember pleasant evenings with neighbours while Denise shared her creative talents with us by giving us art lessons. She was always patient and encouraging of our efforts.
Rocky I remember your generosity in supporting Braeden´s efforts to raise money for cancer research and patient care. As a family you are missed on Deauville. Thinking of you all at this sad time.
Katherine Smillie and family

I knew Denise through her sister-in-law Susan, and always thought of her as a very creative and prolific artist. She had a joyful spirit and enjoyed helping anytime needed. God rest the soul of this beautiful person.
