I try to imagine what you would be. I do not know, but what I do know is that you would have been fun, full of love , caring and hugs, and would have walked to your tune. I know that you and Grandpa are having a grand time; so try to keep him out of trouble. I miss you
everyday, and I think of you everyday. Grandma

Dearest DD, life has changed in so many ways and at times I get so sad because you're not here to share in all the amazing and sometimes not so amazing changes. But as I'm sitting here in the nursery holding our new baby girl while she sleeps on my chest, I am reminded of all the ways you are still a large part of my life. Everyday there is something that reminds me of you while sweet baby Wren just confirms that you are still here. She was born on the day you left us but 9 years later. My labor was quite the experience but I had faith and understanding that you were there holding my hand through the entire labor. Wren finally arrived at 10:15 that morning and our hearts instantly filled with overwhelming joy and has only grown stronger as we watch her grow. I feel comfort in believing you had a hand in when she was going to arrive and helped me through that incredible journey. She, without a doubt, will grow up knowing all about you and how she arrived safely into this world because you were here in loving spirit to help guide her and me. I wish you were here to meet her because she is just the most amazing thing to happen to Jeb and I. I love you so much, Denise! And I'm so thankful that you now have given me the chance to celebrate rather than mourn the date of March 8. Much love to you and the rest of your family! Love you like a fat kid loves cake :]

Hey Sweetie, It has been 6 years, 6 months, and 18 days since you left us, and not a day goes by I do not think of you, and miss you. Keep watch over Jenna, and Mom and Dad. You will always be my special angel. Someday, my angel , you and I will be together, and until then I love you, and miss you. Gramps sends his love.

Hey sweetie, believe it or not I'm still in shock.
I was trying to get in touch with you a few years ago. A mutual friend let me know what happened.
Im sorry for all the people that didn't have a chance to meet you.
You were the best friend I ever had. I wish I could have been in the states just a few more years close to you! Every time I look at our collage I see something new. I always wished one day we would see each other and just pick up where we left off over a cup of coffee. Believe it or not I dreamt of you a few nights ago. We were in your house running down the stairs listening to usher and going for that ranch dressing! Just like not a day went by.
You must have been looking out for me because that year is when my life turned a chapter.
Just want you to know you are always in my prayers and I think of you on a daily basis.
I hope you are well and are proud of me and my family ?
Mia xoxo

Dear Denise,
It has now been 7 years since your accident. There is not a day that goes by that Mom, Jenna and I don't think about you.

Dearest Denise,
It's been over 6 years and there is not a day that passes that I'm not thinking of you. There is so many things about you that I miss. I miss your smile. I miss your laugh. I miss your hugs. I miss your endless love and support. Most of all, I miss my best friend. As the most remarkable day of my life quickly approaches, I can't help but feel a small emptiness in my heart knowing you wont be standing next to me as I walk down the aisle to marry the man of my dreams and someone I know you'd adore. I know you will be with me in spirit and for that I will be forever grateful. I love you and miss you so much, Denise. Never stop watching over us. Love you like a fat kid loves cake!
Love you always,
Jovana

Dear Denise,
It is hard to believe that is has been 6 years now since you have left us to go to Heaven. I went to Mass this morning and said some prayers to you. Please keep looking after your sister Jenna. She misses you sooo much! Mom is home sick today with a cold...but I think most of her sickness is missing you on this sad day. It is also Tuesday March 8th, just like the day you passed away. I know we will all be together again some day...and I will be OLD when you see me again..and you will still be 21 years old!
I Miss hearing you laugh and feeling your warm hugs, and tickles.
LOVE YOU FOREVER!
DAD

I know she misses you so much. Mom has been sice all day with a cold...and also having a rough time missing you SO MUCH.
She still crys alot about not being able to hear your laugh and feeling you wonderful hugs. We will all meet again some day...so make sure you have a comfortable seat for me when I get there.
I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!

Dear Denise,
We can't believe that it has been four years today that you have gone to heaven. We still miss you so very, very much. It is hard for people to understand the pain we still feel. We spent the day in Baltimore, MD. with Jenna and her room mate from college so we could all be together as a family on this sad day.
Mom still crys each night thinking about you. She holds your BEAR in her arms all night to comfort her.
We know that you are in heaven and happy being with Christ....but we are still selfish wishing you were still here with us. We love you so...so much!
Mom, Dad, and Jenna

Dear Denise,
We continue to miss you so very much. This year on March 8, 2008. We went to DC with Jenna and Grandmom and Grandpop. We spent the 3rd anniversary of you going to heaven with family thinking about all the good times we all had together with you. We felt your presence with us all weekend. We went to Mass in Georgetown, Va and the Preist told us all the he had to celebrate a Funeral that day for a day friend of his that was killed in a car accident with her 7 year old daughter. Wow..did that make us teary eyed during the rest of the Mass.
Keep watching over Jenna.
We love you and Miss you VERY, VERY MUCH!

Dear Denise,
We went to Our Lady of the Assumption Church today for an 8:00 AM Mass said in your honor. There were a lot of your friends there. It was so nice seeing them, and knowing that they still think about you and our family.
Then we went to the cemetery with Heile to place some Flowers and things on your grave site. The grave still has stuff there from the first day of your burial. Your friends always leave nice things there for you.
We Miss you SO very much. I know that you are happy in Heaven...but we wish that you were here with us.
Jenna is coming home for
spring break tonight. She told us about a dream she had about you a few days ago. It really made her feel happy.
Thank You for that!
WE Love you so MUCH! Keep looking out for your sister and family.

Dear Chief, Dena, and Jenna,



Here is what I have learned ... there are no answers, although we look for them. There are only "healing moments" that others do not know about. These moments come rushing through our veins as we remember loved ones now gone. These moments come to us softly in the night and they carry our grief to lakes of tears that we filled from all the crying we have done publicly or silently.



Let the moments come; let the healing moments take you to a better place ... IN TIME. Denise gave all of her love to others. She was a truly beautiful soul who will live on in our hearts forever. Until we meet again ... Be well!



VR,

Zyna

DD, it has been one long year without my best friend. Although I know you have been by myside since the day you left us, I miss hearing your voice and feeling the warm touch of your hand letting me know I'm still doing the right thing. I miss you more than words can say but I think you know that. Thank you for being the best guardian angel a girl could ask for. "The only thing that gives me hope is knowing, I'll see you again some day." I love you Denise, watch over us.

I had the pleasure of meeting your family when I was a volunteer for Footprints in 2001-2002. Denise had an amazing spirit and was clealry the leader in this group. My wife and I were with your daughters and the rest of the Footprints group on a hayride and were so impressed at the leadership and example your daughters offered.

I was away from the church for the last few years and recently came back last month. I saw Denise's name in the bulletin today and my heart stopped. I did not know this happened. I got online and saw the obituary. What a tragic loss.

Your family is truly wonderful and I can only hope to be so fortunate to have the togetherness I saw in all of you with my own.



God Bless you all!

It is now one year since we have seen your beautiful smile and feel your warm hugs. We still miss you as much as the first moment we found out you went home to Heaven.

We never got to say goodbye. We went to Mass yesterday (March 8) in your honor at Our Lady of the Assumption Church. We saw so many people there that you touched with you love while you were here on earh with us. You are so loved and Missed!

Our life is never going to be the same without you with us. We just pray that we will all be together again someday when we all meet in Heaven. Until then...please keep praying for us.

WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!

Dear Filipone Family,



Words cannot express my feelings of deepest sympathy for your family. Denise will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Denise was the kind of girl who was loved by all and would do anything for anyone. She loved her family and friends, she loved school, she loved her sorority, she loved where she was at in life and she was always trying to achieve more. She was an outgoing and magnificent person. Her unconditional love radiated continuously as she was always willing to lend a helping hand and share advice. I am lucky to have known Denise, and to have called her my “little sister“. We shared so many wonderful memories and because of those memories Denise will always be alive in my heart. She will be sadly missed by all the lives she has touched. I will miss her beautiful smile and her never ending laughter. Denise always had a cheery disposition and a smile on her face. Her exuberance was contagious and was sure to brighten up anyone's day. My thoughts and prayer are with you and your family. I still can't believe she is gone. She was so much more to me than just a friend, she was my “little sister“. Denise will be in my heart, mind, and prayers, and she will be, until I join her one day. It was so easy to love Denise because she loved others first.Denise will never be forgotten. I have never met someone who was so proud of her family. Not a day would go by where she didn’t talk about her family. She was as proud of her family as you are of her.



Love always,

Love and God Bless

Chief, Mrs. Filipone, and Jenna,

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that having shared their love has enriched our lives. Though some day we all have to part with those we love, they are not lost. We are always better for having loved. In this way, love transcends even death. To quote Thomas Campbell, “To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.”

Dear Dena, Bob. amd Jenna,



John, Christopher, Johanna, and I want to send our words of consolation to you. We had heard of Dennis' accident via the OLA Prayer Line. We were so shocked.



Dennis was a wonderful young woman. She personified Christ's goodness here on earth. She radiated love, music, and friendship to all. God just wanted her home.



I asked my Mom, "How can they cope?"

Very simply, my Mom said, "Their faith. Their faith will be able to help them."



We pray for all of you. We pray for strength, support, and love to be given to you in abundance at this time from all of your family and friends.



My Christ's Peace be with you always.



With Much Love,

Our Dear Cousins - Bobby, Dena and Jenna:



It's been a while since we've talked and seen each other but please know that our hearts are so heavy and sad for you at this time. What can we say.



You know our family has had some very sad and hard times but we have always been able to pull through, we pray that this is once again true for you. Our love to your family also Dena as they are so dear and special.



Such a sweet and loving girl was Denise. Just know she is with the Lord and they are both with you at this time and for always.



Your girls were always so wonderful to our Frankie and he always loved all the attention Denise and Jenna paid to him and still at 10 years old cherishes the special waves, hugs and smiles always given to him as a baby and toddler from his beautiful cousins. I think they call it "La Famiglia". Denise knew "La Famiglia" if you were her family or not - she just knew "it" and had "it". They say it's the little things that matter, and Denise had a million "little things" even as a little girl she could make people always feel special. She is your angel in heaven now and will always be you all and hopefully all of us that she impressed, touched and loved.



May God bless you all and special love to Jenna, she has always been our "feisty" little Filipone and as she and Denise were a such great sisters, she will always have a special angel in heaven and never be alone.



God blees you all.



Much love to you, your Cousins,

Dearest Bob, dena and Jenna,

I can't express enough my deepest sympathy to all of you for the loss of your daughter, and sister Denise. She was truly a warm and loving person. She was an example of what you family is. I know you are of strong faith and you will comfort each other. She is now and forever will be in my prayers. I told Allison, she is devasted! May God bless you all.

Denise was an amazing person. She was such a sweet young woman and the youth group could always count on her for a smile. I am so sorry for your loss. Denise will never be forgotten.

Chief and family,

I was stunned when I heard the news about Denise. Even though I never met her, while the Chief was at Dover he spoke of his family often. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Filipone, and Jenna,



I'm so sorry for the loss you just had. I can't imagine what you're going thorugh. Things happen for a reason and hopefully you'll meet with your daughter again. I know I havn't seen or talked to you in a while, but when I read this in the paper I was hysterical. Your family is one of the nicest families I've ever met, and you should be proud of how nice and how loved your daughters are. I couldn't imagine this happening to one of my sisters. I'm praying for your family everyday.



Love,

Anna

Dear Bob, Dena & Jenna:

God bless you while going through this time of sadness. I can't imagine going through what you're having to go through as my daughter is the same age as Denise. The only hope I can give you is that God must have loved Denise so much that he wanted her back so soon. Love to all. Natalie

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Chief Filipone, you have told me so many great things about Denise, I'm just sorry that we never met, because I know we could have become great friends. Always remember that the love you have for Denise is just as strong as the love she had for you, and that is something no one can ever take away from you. If you ever need to talk or simply want a hug just remember I'll be there.
