Joe,Debbie & Family,
I was so shocked to hear of Denise's passing. I had the honor of working with her for 12 years at 3 Rivers Ice Cream. She was an inspiration to all who worked with her. I have so many wonderful memories. She was always there for me in good times and in bad. We shared many laughs and many tears together. You & your families will be in my thoughts and prayers.

After working with Denise in physical therapy following her injury I looked forward to her visits. Even though her rehabilitation was challenging she always displayed friendship, humor, and courage. Such a lovely person. I will miss her. I am fortunate she called me last week to say hello so I will always remember her expresion of appreciation.

Dear Joe and Family,
Words today will not express the deep sadness I feel for all of you.
She was a dynamic person, never to be recreated. She marched to her own drummer and led the band.
A tremendous void will be left for all of us. In her way she kept us all together.
She will be missed.
With Sympathy,
Carol
