Denise Gates Bossa

Happy Birthday Mom!! I miss you so much and think about you everyday. I know how excited you would be for your birthday today and all I want is to give you a hug and never let go. Been thinking about your birthday last year that also fell on Easter and how Mike and I sat up all night stuffing and hiding Easter eggs for you to find. Things just aren't the same without you. I love you!!

I'm saddened to hear about Denise, She will really be missed.

Denise was my sister's best friend in high school (Jennifer Cole) and I just remember they always had a darned good time together! I have a feeling she is having a great time with her son and other loved ones in Heaven. RIP, Leah

Mrs. Bossa was my 1st and 3rd grade teacher in the Granite school district. I have remembered her teachings, kind hearted demeanor and smiling face ever since. In 2000, I sent her a hand written letter and a high school graduation announcement. I thanked her for being such a wonderful influence in my life. I never knew if she remembered me from so long ago and so many kids taught. It was to my WONDERFUL surprise to find out today that she kept the letter this entire time and even was displayed at her visitation this morning. I am saddened by her passing, yet honored that in a sea of so many children, I maybe was one that left an impression on her. Rest in Peace Mrs. Bossa. You will not be forgotten.

What a remarkable life she lead. Bless her soul in Jesus name. Amen.

You will be missed Denise. I did not know you that well in
High school, but was pleasantly surprised when you commented
on FB when I was painting my room and got to know your beautiful daughter.
You will be missed Denise. RIP my friend. Prayers for your family.

Denise was so friendly, always smiling and loved by all that she met. May she rest in peace knowing that she left precious memories for her family, friends and students. With love, Liz Bozek Krohn, Class of 74, Cordova High School

You lighted up the lives of many. Your mission now is to serve as an angel in heaven. Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Denise's passing. I have not seen her since our days at Snow College, but considered her a friend. Mike and I met at Snow College and became good friends. In reading her obituary, I can see that Denise had a positive effect in the lives of thousands of students and others she came in contact with. Please accept my condolences Mike and family for your loss.

As a former colleague at Randall, and a part of that family that prayed and gave me much support during my medical emergency, you will never be forgotten. We shared a lot of laughs and had some great talks. God Bless you my friend, rest in peace.

Such a good mom! I have fond memories of our short friendship.

"One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world." Denise changed the world. At Randall, we are so proud that Denise was part of our Hawk family. She taught our students how to soar. We will always love her dearly, and we grieve her passing. Love to her family.

There are no goodbyes for us Denise. Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts
