Denice Lawrence

Jim & Clermont Family,
I was sitting meditating Last night & Jim & Denice's Names came across my mind. I took to the computer & looked up Denice's Name & much to my dismay I found her obituary. There is dismay in this realization to find Denice's obit. 13 years after her passing. For I first met her when she was 13 y.o.a. for I was HER first therapist after she broke her neck. I can also let you know, I gave her away at her wedding to Jim. Everything that has been said about her here...

Dear Jim & Clermont Family
I am so sorry for your loss. Denice will sorely be missed by all who knew her. Many years have gone by when our families enjoyed the summers at the 5 B's Campground. We had so much fun.(swimming, catching frogs,sitting by the campfire listening to my father sing) The good old days. But it never mattered if it had been 30 years or yesterday at Market Basket, Denice always gave a big hug, a smile and the feeling that she was happy to see you, the feeling was...

Dearest Friends of Denice,
I am overwhelmed by the love you have all shown Denice through your words and actions. I couldn't read the guest book for a long time and still cry from the words and unspoken ones. Denice was my angel as I know that God had brought us together for a purpose. I believe that purpose was to love, be in love and show how to love. There are many memories I have of Denice and I and cherish them. Many of you knew Denice longer than I and have memories before her...

Denice, It still hasn't really sunk in that you are gone. I pass by your parking space every day and expect to see your black van.
I always saw you as a kindred spirit-we spent many hours after work (sorry Jim) commiserating and processing cases and problems in the office as well as sharing outlooks on life. You truly loved the work, despite its stresses. You were a 'lifer' - hooked on the highs that you get from a job well done - from knowing that you made a real difference for so many...

A better lawyer than all the lawyers I know put together; more shear goodness than all the people I know put together.

Denice, you were a valued colleague and a good friend. Just knowing you were there made the world a little better place. You fought the good fight, and I wish you peace. I'll miss you.

I will never forget our college memories with Denice at the University of Central Florida. This passage is a true reflection of her.

"I shall pass through this world but Once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

Jim I wished I had the opportunity to meet you.

Sending my long distant family my condolences.

Love Shelley and Bill

I am saddenened all the more since reading this guest book.
Denice was always a great positive person despite her phycical issues.
I/we were talking about finding Denice to include her in an Upward Bound gathering.
I will miss you Denice.

Just a few months ago, a beautiful picture was taken of my cousin Denice and I at our wedding. I will treasure that picture always. We will miss her greatly. Brian and I are praying for all of the friends and family.
Much love from Colleen Arcand Reese and Brian Reese.
