I met Denise in 1970 when I moved in Rochdale and we became friends. We laughed, talked and enjoyed speaking of where we were in life. My special friend Denise, I miss you and know anyone that's been in your life, would feel the loss of you being gone. Special Lady, you're in my spirit. Love you forever, R.I.P

My Dearest Cuzzin:

I miss you already with all my heart. Not only are/were we family, but we were also sister-friends-confidants.
You were my rock as well.

God sent me to St. Pete last month so we could share some special last moments together.

You will live in my heart forever!

May you rest in peace!

Your Cuz....Shelley

I am blessed to have had Denise as my big "sis" after losing my sister, Marlene 28 years ago. Denise was always there for me and could be counted on to share her perspective. She was generous, loving and kind. While Denise will be missed here on this earth, she will remain in my heart forever. The memory of Denise will be treasured.
