Great Aunt Mary & Uncle John,
I am so sorry about Denise. I have some very fond memories of her and I spending some time together a few summers. I will keep you all in my prayers and Denise always in my heart.

To Denise's family... I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I went to elementary school with a young boy named Todd Quickenton, and can't help but think this is the same young man, it's a pretty uncommon name. It saddens me deeply to think about what Todd and the rest of Denise's family must be going through. Having recently lost a young loved one, I understand grief, but still can't begin to imagine...Live each day to it's fullest, and never forget to tell people you love how you feel.
God Bless the family, and may Denise live on through Maxwell.

Hello,
My name is Ellen (Boudette) Flanigan and I worked with Denise at Hoyt's in high school. While we didn't keep in touch, when I think of her I remember her wonderful smile. I'm so sorry for your loss. What a blessing to have a son to remember her by.

Todd, Roberge and Quickenton Families and Maxwell,
This past weekend my wife and I attended a wedding reception in Boston. Saturday night my wife and I along with several other family members were seated in the main lobby of the Holiday Inn when our paths crossed with Todd. The conversations that we soon shared with you touched my wife and I deeply. While we never knew Denise it was clearly evident how much of a special person she was. The love and devotion you had for her was overwhelming. My wife and I will always treasure something you said that night. "Always tell each other how you feel because you never know". It's very easy to slip into the routine of everyday life and not take time out for each other. Your words will always remind me to take that time and cherish it.
Todd, our thoughts and prayers will forever be with you, Maxwell and the Quickenton and Roberge families. Thank you for sharing your story with us and touching our lives.

Todd, Quickenton Family, Roberge Family and little Max,
I have only known Todd and Denise for about five years, but it seems like forever to me. I consider Denise and Todd to be some of my best friends. There are alot of things about Denise that I will never forget. Her laugh for one....I can't get it out of my head. And this picture I've added. I will never forget how full of life she was and how much she adored children. I miss her so much. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure she is smiling down upon us all. Just know, that we are here for you, Always!

Todd and family,
We are so deeply sorry for your loss of Denise. What a shock. I am sorry we didn't get to talk a bit more Wednesday and that we weren't able to express our condolences properly to all. She was a great woman and alot of fun. Her smile and personality are something that you could never miss and they will surely never be forgotten. She will be much missed.
God bless you all and baby Maxwell. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We hope you can soon look back and smile on a life well lived and a woman much loved.
Our deepest sympathies.

Todd,Baby Maxwell and Denise's Family, I met Denise and you Todd at Paul and Danielle's Wedding. I am Danielle's sister and was paired to walk with you. I remember Denise well because her smile and outgoing and fun loving personality made quite an impression. I could not believe it when Danielle told me. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your love for Denise was amazing and I don't think there was a person in the world that couldn't tell she was the light of your life. My heart breaks for you and all of your family. I will be praying for you and baby Maxwell. I'm so glad you have him. I know you will cherish him as the gift that he is and am sure he will be blessed with many of Denise's qualities. My deepest sympathy is with you.

Dear Todd, Maxwell, Jeff & The Roberge Family,
I met Denise while working at Hoyts almost 13 years ago, and she has been in my life ever since. I'm just flooded with memories of so many great times with her. Denise had a passion for life, and left her mark on everyone's lives she touched. I will always hear her laughter echoing in my mind. I have so many photos to look back through and re-live so many moments of our times together. If there ever was a "soulmate" for Denise, it was Todd. I know she will live on in all of us, and especially in that little boy, Maxwell. I know she will be watching over him his entire life...I hope as he gets older we will get to see a lot of her in him...in his looks...in his ways....that smile of hers is definitely one that should be passed down in life. This was a tragic loss to all of us...please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time...and always. Denise will never be forgotten. I am blessed to have had her in my life! Thinking of you all...

Todd, Maxwell and the Roberge Family,
Time has a funny way of writing it's own script. Sometimes it is harder to understand why things happen than others. We never ask questions through the good times, just the difficult ones. The peace I have found over the past few days is trying to remember that Denise truely had a purpose in her life. Maxwell was her purpose! She touched many lives in her short journey. We all will have wonderful memories to cherish and share through the difficult times that are to come, but Max will serve as a beacon of hope , love and faith that there is a purpose for all things under heaven! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With Love and Fond Memories of A Wonderful Spirit,
The Davis Family

I never knew Denise, but send my sincere condolences to Todd, Denise's family and to preemie Maxwell. Todd, you are such a strong man to be there for Maxwell, as he needs you to be strong for him, even though it will be difficult emotionally. I survived a very bad ruptured appendix and delivered 13 weeks early. It is a journey itself of many ups and downs, but the ups will outnumber the downs. Remember to take care of yourself so that in turn you can be there for your baby boy. My deepest sympathy at your loss.

Jeff and family,
I was shocked and so sad to hear about Denise. Jeff-I remember your sister from hanging out at your house with Aaron in high school and hanging out with the two of you at Hoyts. Denise had such a pretty smile and was truly one of the friendliest people I have even met. I was just thinking about both of you the other day,wondering where you were, how you were, and then I saw this...my heart is heavy with sadness. I am so sorry and please know that I am thinking of you all.

Please accept my condolences to you, beloved son Maxwell, and your family. Denise worked with me on the NYS Dr. Martin Luther King Observance. Over the years, she designed several of our award winning posters along with Lisa and her colleagues at Mehigan, Robert and Bellone. She cared so deeply about the project and put her heart and soul into it. Everytime I look at HER posters I will remember her big smile and laughter. She never complained and went out of her way to make everything top shelf. I will miss our sister talks and commentaries. I was honored to know her. GOD bless.

Being a Red Sox fan I was smiling when I first noticed the picture on the front of the TU. However, as I continued to read the story, I realized I had attended RSC'99 with Denise. We had the same Major and were in many classes together over the 4 years. In shock after reading the article, I easily recalled her smile, contagious laugh, and enthusiasm. As a returning student at 40, Denise would always encourage me to hang in there, thanks for the A+ on our project. You were talented on so many levels. You will be missed.

Denise was in many of my communications classes at Sage; I remember her always talking and laughing; she was always happy. We had many discussions about the best music to listen to while driving during the summer - she's the reason I drive windows down, hair blowing, and belting out the golden oldies. My deepest sympathy to her family.
