My sympathies for your loss.

To the men in Dr. Denise's life, you have my deepest sympathy. Denise was a gift to us all. She was kind, compassionate, loving, sweet, and beautiful inside and out. She was my doc and a friend. She attended a baby shower at my home and marveled at my 1950's house. Always mentioned it when we ran into each other. I remember visiting with her on the bleachers at St Marys during Homecoming when Dennis was up for Homecoming King. There was a glitch in getting his name on the ballot. A lot of parents would be angry about it but she was not. She took it in stride, mistakes happen. Maybe her attitude was due to her profession. Worse things can happen to you. I so appreciated her take on life, dont sweat the small stuff. No matter what, after you visited with Denise whether in the clinic or socially, you felt better. She brought the best out of you and made you feel good about yourself. She leaves a huge void in our community. I will miss her.

So sorry for your loss

Dr. Denise was my dermatologist in Bismarck. She was such a wonderful person, and doctor. She treated me so kindly, I had just went through a traumatic time in my personal life, and this wonderful soul went out her way to find me resources and comfort. I am thinking of her husband Dr. Pathroff and her boys. God Bless you all.
