To: Rosenthal, Stein family.
I held a distinct honor, to work for Denise. What I will remember most about her is her love for her children and family. Her joy and sincere warmth for all those who had the pleasure of being in her light is a gift never to be forgotten.
Denise left joy, strength, kindness and laughter as her living legacy. The world was a kinder, brighter place because she graced our lives.

To The Stein and Rosenthal families,
I am so sorry to hear about Denise's passing. I saw Bill tonight while he was at work and he told me.
I met Denise on what I'm sure was the worst day of her life -- the day she found out she had cancer. I did her ultrasound and later that day helped with her biopsy. What I remember most about that time was how stoically yet gracefully she handled the whole thing. I also remember how she held her mom's hand as we chatted about her sister's, her kids and the scrapbooks she made. On that very day, Denise became my friend.
We were surprised to find out our kids went to the same school then we started seeing each other at various school events. Sometimes I was lucky enough to see her while she was at the hospital. We would catch up for a few minutes in the hallway. She beamed as she talked about her family and never forgot to ask about mine. I think I know how badly she suffered through this illness but she always looked beautiful, smiling and dressed to the nine's.
I was not there the last time she came to my dept., that would have been my last time to see her. I will regret that forever. Yet, I will remember her always and how truly special she was.
My thoughts are with you all.

Greg,
I am truly saddened by your loss. Denise was such an inspiration to so many people in countless ways and she will be missed. Alan passed away a couple of months ago but I want you to know how very much he enjoyed playing in the annual golf event with you and Denise. May God be with you and your family during this very difficult time.

It is now 9:35 AM on Thursday morning as friends and family gather to celebrate the precious gift of life of Denise. We are traveling today in Idaho and Montana, so I thought this note would provide our own prayer service while others gather with you. So today with each turn of the road our thoughts and prayers will be directed to each of you.
Elliott mentioned back when he was playing ball with Dan there would be Denise pulling the wagon with Bill in tow and Jessica right there too on the sidelines with Greg helpiing out the boys. Denise set the standard high for all Harvey Oaks Mother's to always be there helping and showing support for her children and constant love towards Greg.
We too are a better and stronger family in our Faith and Love because Denise touched each one of us in her own special way and we are thankful for her gift of friendship.
It is now 9:54 and the service is probably coming to a close. The memories we have of Denise will not end and we rejoice in the Lord.
Love to all,
The Erikson Family,
Scott - Trish - Elliott - Jonathan

Greg, Jessica, Dan, Bill and the entire Rosenthal family. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time of loss. I pray GOD will comfort and surround you all.
I worked with Denise for many years and when I think of her, I think about her upbeat personality and her drive, diligence and perseverance in making her Finance co workers here at Qwest more proficient in computer use.
In my particular case, she took a computer illiterate who was stuck in a trash 80 time warp and groomed me into someone who is no longer wary of computers and even enjoys being a resource to others. Denise got a huge chuckle (actually rolled on the floor) out of hearing that later, others were calling me for help ... she said this just couldn't ever be possible!!. In actuality, this was a terrific compliment to her; she deserved all the credit for her willingness to share of herself, train, and instill in others, her wealth of computer knowledge.
Denise worked tirelessly to make me and others self sufficient. I often commented and sent Denise notes praising and thanking her for being the office computer "Angel" .... she was always just outside my door, eager to help me solve any problem. Her dedication and perseverance in solving my problems were highly valued assets, and she continued to demonstrate these qualities despite the struggle with her illness.
She truly had a "Spirit of Service" mentality and personality. And, because of her faith, drive, and positive outlook only her closest co workers would know she was ill. Even then, she pressed on, upbeat and focused. She was truly an inspiration; a remarkable person, both at work here at Qwest and at home with her family. Denise will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by her extended family here at Qwest .... a family who worked together, laughed together, celebrated together, wept at times and now grieves with her immediate family. Denise will always hold a place in my heart and the hearts of her co workers.

I am fortunate to have worked with Denise for several years. She used her technical expertise and commitment to excellence to always help us with our work problems. Over time, we also became friends- sharing laughter and news about our families. The love she felt for her family was evident even over the phone lines. I never had an opportunity to meet Denise in person but feel so fortunate to have met her over the phone lines and internet. My prayers and thoughs go out to all of her family and friends.

Denise and I worked together for many years. Although we never met face to face I believe we met heart to heart. We would talk about similar things going on in our lives and she always had positive things to say. Her spirit and positive outlook about her situation made the news of her passing quite a shock. I figured she would always come back. My condolences to her husband and children. She loved you all so much. I'll miss her.

Greg, Jessica, Dan, Bill and the Rosenthal family. There are no expressions, no emotions, no way to tell you how we felt about Denise. When people look back on their lives as to the persons who touched them and MADE THEIR LIFE BETTER, Denise will always be high on our lists. If we can help in anyway, please let us know. With much sympathy, Doug and Barb Cook

Greg and family….I know that words cannot express the sadness you must feel at this time. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
I have known Denise for a long time – since meeting her just before the two of you got married, Sarge – and over the years always admired her zest for life, the balance she provided, and the openness with which she greeted and talked with her friends. The world has lost a bright star! We last visited at a wedding last fall and had a wonderful conversation…she talked lots about her kids and how proud she was of each...updated us on Sarge’s latest endeavors…and asked lots of questions about our family. She smiled, laughed, and showed us how much she cared for others.
She will be missed…but, will live on in our hearts.

Greg, Dan, Jessica, Bill, know and believe that your loved one, Denise, is in a beautiful place that we can only dream of. She is resting in the comfort of God’s loving arms. Know that just as God looked down upon Denise in her suffering, comforting her, that Denise now is looking down upon you, praying for you, for your comfort. Let Denise’ life, memories and love comfort you now, and remember that her love will be with you forever.
I am so blessed for the beautiful friend I have in Denise. Her life, and her faith has deeply touched my heart. I love you, Denise.
