I was so sad to hear about Denise's passing. She was a wonderful friend to animals in our community and always had a warm smile when I saw her. May God bless you and your family.

She had a heart of gold. I met her back in 2002 and she stood by as if she new me, when in fact I was only a person looking for a job. We became good friends and then I learned she knew my son. The last time I saw her she was dancing and she really knew how to dance. She will be missed and I hope she will be dancing as she goes through the gates of heaven. Good bye my friend God bless all your family you left behind. Your friend always Lorenza Fraire and my son Hugo Fraire, rest in peace.

I love you a Denise. you were there for me when my parents divorced you held me accountable for my own integrity. You taught me to value and respect my my self as well as my body. You instilled in me that I was great and deserved the best. You and I have created memories that people write movies about, we have laughed till we peed ourselves. You will be forever a fiber woven into my character. I love you !
