Not sure what to say?

My sincere sympathy to Denise's family. We went to Alvernia together and spent many days after school in gym activies. We were good friends and competitors at that time. It is sad to see such a nice person go at an early age. Joanne (Posch) Wagner

My sincerest wishes of hope and comfort to all who loved this great lady. It is my belief that we will all meet again. I am picturing Denise weaving peacefully in heaven.

To the family and friends of Sister Denise, I send my deepest sympathy.

Denise was an inspiration to us all. Her spirit was unending as her faith in life itself. I will miss her, but will always remember her smiling voice.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Denise. She was a friend and inspiration to all. I wished I could make the memorial but I teach a class on tuesday night. Please know of my prayers for all and we will have a mass here as soon as we can. With much love to all at the fineline, Father Edward Seisser

What a friend and mentor, Denise, became in just 10 short years. Her ever present smile and cheery hello, will be missed. But, I rejoice in her spirit being able to spend this Christmas and everyday from now on with Jesus.

What a Christmas gift God has given us to call back home his long suffering handmaiden and our beloved cousin, Denise. What a reunion it must have been when Denise arrived back home to her Mom & Dad and all the Masen and Kavanagh families and, at long last, to behold her Lord and Redeemer!

Yes, we will miss Denise, her love and her Irish wit, but our loss will not be forever and that, some day, we will be reunited with her . . . back home.

I first met Denise 10 years ago, taking my first weaving class during a difficult period in my life. Her strength, Irish wit, creativity and energy inspired me whenever I was in her presence. I treasure the shawl that we wove together. Rest in peace, Chris

The opportunity to have known Denise gives me great gladness. I feel that her creative spirit will live on in the legacy that she leaves - The Fine Line Creative Arts Center!

With sadness,
Rosemary
