I had the privilege of working with Denise at GRES for a few of the years she was a teacher in Fairfax County. I am sorry to hear of her death and send my sympathy to her family.

We will miss Denise's laughter, her company as we talked or played Uno, and the sound of her rocking in a chair next to us at Lost River State Park. We will miss stocking our frig with Diet Dr. Pepper and homemade chocolate cookies for her daily visits to our cabin. I will miss phone conversations and teasing her about always being older than me. Denise will always hold a special place in my heart. So sorry for the Breen Family's loss.
