I was shocked to hear of Denise's passsing. I last saw her about 7 years ago at a Parkland Class Reunion and she looked the same as she did back in high school. I tried to think back to when I met Denise and I think it may have been in Elementary School at Parkway Manor. I can't believe she's gone. I'll always remember Denise and John doing a line dance at my wedding. I'm lucky to have that on video to look back on. My heart goes out to John, and Denise's whole family.

Kelly Bostick Weirich was kind enough to let me know about Denise. I was lucky to have been one of Denise's AP English teachers. She was a joy to have in class, and was an intelligent, thoughtful, and kind person. Clearly she accomplished much in her life and made a difference. She will be sorely missed by those she touched.

To Denise's family,
I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. I was in Denise's English classes throughout High School and found her to be a very intelligent, caring, practical, and kind soul. I regret that I have not seen her since those days. May the Lord in His goodness console you in your grief and may she rest forever in His peace.

Denise and I were in AP English classes together throughout high school. We shared ideas and opinions for 3 years. I am so sorry to hear of her death. My sympathies to family and friends. May God bless you with comfort during this difficult time.

To Denise's family,

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Denise. She and I were childhood friends and often sat on the bus together. I remember, even back then, what a sweet and gentle person she was. I wish you peace in all your memories of her and the comfort that she is not forgotten in old friends.
