Denise and I worked together for a few years at C&S. We traveled together and I'll never forget our run through the airport and her banging on the side of the plane to let us on. All she wanted to do was get home. May she rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Denise's family. I lived across the hall from her in Nair Hall at Clarion. Although we have not kept in touch over the years, when I found out today about her passing I haven't been able to put her out of my mind. She was always a pleasure to be around. She looks as beautiful in the picture on this page as I remember her to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this truly difficult time.

Rick, Ryan & Allyssa,
I am so sorry that your wife, and mom left this world way too early. She was such a wonderful person. And even though we hadn't seen each other in a long time, we kept in touch with cards, letters and especially pictures of you kids growing through the years. I am so glad that I got to know Denise when we worked at True Temper so long ago. I am especially grateful that I got to speak with her two weeks ago and say the things that I needed to say.I know that I will see her again. I just pray for God's peace and comfort for you and her family. You have been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest condolences.

Rick, Ryan, and Allyssa-- I am so very sorry and heartbroken to hear of Denise's passing. My husband and I went to college with Denise and she was my sorority sister and one of my old roommates. I have so many memories of her that I would not know where to begin but my most vivid is how we laughed until we could laugh no more. My life has been forever touched from her friendship. Although our families have taken us in so many different directions a picture at Christmas time keeps us connected. May you remember your beautiful mother & wife with the love and the smile that I remember her today. May God bless your family in these tough years to follow but knowing that we all have another angel to watch over us. With love, Kim & Joe Kenny
