Our thoughts are with you and our sympathy goes to her husband Kurt and little Jake the most of all, as well as to the whole family and friends of Denise.
Even though we didn't know her for such a long time, we got to know her warm heart and kindness - we admire Denise's strength as she went through the last couple of years as wife, mother and person like she was, always fighting the cancer and still thinking positive.
She was a beautiful and happy woman with such a warmth in her heart. Denise will be missed.

Aunt Neesie,
Your smile will forever burn in my heart. I will never forget you and everything you meant to me. I will always remember the words you used to guide me. I am grateful for the time I had. The lives you touched made them worth living. You gave us Christmas and yourself as the most valuable gift. All the memories of good times keep us laughing through the tears. I love you.

My beautiful friend...
I am honored to have known you; shared secrets with you, laughed with you, cried with you, shopped with you, cooked with you, cleaned with you, planned with you and dreamed with you. I am and will forever be, blessed to have had you in my life and will continue to cherish those memories in my heart until we meet again.
Rest easy my beautiful friend.

I am so sorry to hear about Denise. We went to pharmacy school together. She had a great sense of humor and a strong sense of determination. My thoughts are with your family. This is a terrible loss for all.

My deepest condolences to the Kinky family on their loss of Denise.
I knew Denise since we had worked together at Leopold's Pharmacy. Although now people will remember her for the vibrant and sweet person she has been, as a friend, a mother, a wife and a family member, I will remember her jump shot. She was a heck of a basketball player.
She contributed greatly to the soundtrack of my life as well. She would always introduce new music to me until I was hooked on a new band or artist and I would return the favor by making mix tapes she could listen to on the speedline going back and forth to school.
Always bright and charming, and always good for a laugh and a smile she was as sweet as could be as a teenager and remained so through adulthood.
The last time I saw her I knew she had been having some tough times but she never let on just how tough they were, so I never asked. We just talked about how time flies and it seemed like only yesterday we were laughing it up at Leopold's Christmas parties and how afterwards a group of us would pile into cars and check out the Christmas lights in the surrounding neighborhoods and towns.
So I thank her for adding to my life as I am sure she always adding something to everyone she encountered. She was always a giver, not a taker.
I also thank her for adding to the soundtrack of my life. Her contributions will always be remembered. Recently, in her honor, I have been playing sets of Genesis to remember her by.
May God bless her always.

I was introduced to Denise and Kurt via their close friends the Wira's. For as long as I knew Denise, she always had such a caring, positive spirit about her. Her courageous example through all that she endured, will no doubt encourage others. My deepest condolences to Kurt, Jacob, and all sides of Denise's loving family.

When I first met Denise she was a little girl. She grew up to be a terrific person, wife & mother and her smile never changed. She went through more then most and she is in a place with no pain or sadness. My prayers are with those that are left behind. May she watch over all of us, especially Kurt and Jake.

I told Denise about 2 years ago that she was my hero. She is the best example I know of how people should live life and had strength and courage beyond anyone I have ever met. Her smile, kindness and caring personality will be greatly missed.
My prayers continue to go out to the family.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Kurt, Jake and the family and friends of Denise. Although I didn't know her that long I can only say that she was an incredible woman. Being a two time breast cancer survivor I can only hope that I can be as strong and courageous as she was faced with the same situation. I am definitely a better person for knowing her. May you rest in peace Denise.

Denise was the pharmacist who worked closely with our practice at The Children;s Hospital of Phila, serving kids and families with HIV disease. I loved working with her, she would do anything to get meds for kids when the insurance companies would deny them.
I will miss her, no matter how crazy things were , she always made me laugh.
My prayers are with her family, friends and co-workers at the pharmacy.
Sincerely,
Denise Ramsden RN

To Marcita, Kurt, Jake, Sharon, Colleen, Steve, Jim, and Neil -
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your daughter, wife, mother, and sister. When I heard the sad news Billy Joel's 'Only The Good Die Young' was playing on the radio. How appropriate.
The obituary for Denise was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing things about my cousin that I never knew. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
