Denise Leemputte

Deepest sympathy to Denise's family and friends. I hope the joy and love she created for her family and her friends bring peace and that her memory always be a blessing.

Denise and I became friends almost immediately when we met at my cooking class in Paris. A common friend used to refer to her as "the teacher´s pet". Throughout the years our husbands and children also became friends and although we lived far away from each other we never lost touch. I will dearly miss her and was hoping to attend the memorial service to say proper goodbye. Every time we got a chance to visit we were always greeted with warmth and hospitality, and always had a fun time. Miss...

Aunt Denise, We love you tremendously. You were such a formative figure in our childhood; a second mom to us. From countless after-school play dates (catered with the most gourmet snacks of course), to sleepovers, and dinner parties across continents. I´ll never forget how you introduced me to foie gras as an eight-year-old, the trip to Paris where Grace and I became privy to all your local secrets, Cornwall and the infamous pea cannelloni, and the number to your landline, which I could...

Denise, was a cherished member of our family and an exemplar of warmth and hospitality. Denise left an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her, exemplifying grace, kindness, and an unparalleled attention to detail that could make anyone feel at home. Denise's home was more than a place of solace; it was a haven where stories were shared and memories created, all without the haste that so often accompanies our lives. Her ability to host with such elegance set the...

I remember Denise so fondly from our shared years together at St. Peter's and Regina. She was vivacious, funny, and above all, kind, and she could dance like nobody's business. I am so sad to learn of her passing at such a young age. My condolences to the family for the loss of Denise after what was clearly a beautiful and love-filled life.

I remember Denise with such fondness, from her years at St. Peter's and from Regina. She was vivacious, funny, and above all, kind. She could dance like nobody's business. I am so sad to learn of her passing at far too young of an age. I hope she rests in peace, following what was clearly a beautiful life. My condolences to her family and other friends.

Denise and I became friends the first day of high school. We had many common interests, including dancing, music and horseback riding, which we explored together during our years at Regina. Right before a dance, we would lay outside. Led Zeppelin, albums covered in aluminum foil. Once in a while, we would steal one of Eileen`s Pall Mall non-filters. (yes, we all called Denise`s parents, Eileen and John. But only behind their backs.) Two of my favorite memories of my years with Denise, are as...

Deepest condolences to Michael, Anna and Grace. Denise was a wonderful, witty and kind friend.
