Denise was a beautiful soul. So strong. So vibrant and kind. I really miss seeing her at The Dental Group but I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Prayers of comfort as we remember such a dynamic woman.

Denise was a good friend and classmate at HU. We've spent countless hours talking about whatever came to mind over the last 30 years. The shock and sadness are just beginning. Love you dearly Denise.
