Denise was a beautiful friend. We shared many years of camp outs and Basque picnics together. Our girls grew up as best friends and we shared many of their activities also. Living in Silver Springs was an amazing part of our lives. Denise is truly missed.

She was my 1st cousin and a friend for life. I will always be indebted to her for using her nursing skills on my father for over 18 months after he had a horrific automobile accident. She worked with him relentlessly to make him whole again. I miss her, I loved her, and send my condolences to all of our family and friends. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
