I remember Denise from our days at Fidelity, we worked together side by side and were the Denise and Denis show. We both became parents about the same time. I miss her and wish her family well.

Hi Frank and family. My name is Denis Hanley, we met a very long time ago just after your son and my daughter were born. I worked with Denise at Fidelity. As belated as this is, I just learned of Denise's passing and I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family are well and wish you all the best.

I was trying to get in touch with Frank and Denise and was shocked to find Denise's obituary. My sincere condolences to Frank and the rest of the family. I know how deeply Denise was loved and what a great spirit she is. She will be greatly missed. Frank, words can't express my sadness for you.

I am an old friend of Frank's from the Revere days in the Seventies. I didn't know Denise well at all but I believe we were arrested together one crazy night in Hamilton with a carload of people including Willie Alexander and Wild Johhny Lewis. I was driving Johnny's car. I liked Frank very much and I am so sorry for his loss. Please give him and all of his family my deepest sympathy.

My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Frank, Susan and Frank Jr., and all of Denise's family. I had the honor of getting to know Denise when I interviewed her for ALL KINDSA GIRLS. Her stories were wonderful - as vivid and compelling as her photographs - perfect windows to our world. Denise was a true original, a wonderful friend, a fabulous mom with two brilliant kids, and the best partner an artist could ask for. I was out of town last week and was checking in today when I read the terrible news. I couldn't believe it - not Denise Donahue Rowe - she was so young, so full of life. I thought it must be a mistake! I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to attend the services. I would love to help organize a memorial for Denise with music, film and of course, photographs. She will be missed every minute of every day. All our love, Cheryl, Brian & Liam

Denise was an irreplaceable member of the Boston music community. It was a great pleasure getting to seeing to see her again around town in recent years.



My deepest condolences to the families, and my regrets for having to miss the service.

My deepest condolences to the Rowe family. Even though it's been two years since I last saw Denise, I feel truly blessed and honored to have had the priviledge of knowing her. Her love of family, sense of humor and all around kindness will never be forgotten. Her memory will live on in all the lives she has touched.

Denise was such a wonderful person and friend. There were so many times when she got us through tough days and nights by making us all laugh. I used to love the stories about her kids....from whom she got so much enjoyment. Denise will be missed terribly. Best wishes to the entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Rowe & Donahue Families,



We are very sorry to hear of your loss. We knew Denise when she worked in the Harvard Coop Photo Department and the Boston music scene many years ago. The last time we saw Denise was at the reunion of Boston bands in the Middle East over a month ago. We will remember Denise for her laughter and friendliness. Our prayers are with all of you.



Sincerely,



Jane & Bill Doherty
