Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick & family,
David and I have know Denise for the last 10 yeears at St. Philip's. We worked together on the liturgy board among many other things. I have been traveling out of town to help with grandchildren the lasr two & a half years and seem to keep missing Denise when she has been at church but have been praying for her and keeping up from other of her struggles. I know the family will miss her terrible. If it any help know others feel your pain and are praying for you. Denise is enjoying the fullfillment of God's promise and we must try to find some comfront in knowing that she must be happy & not suffering anymore. It will take time to realize this I know but bless know we are all praying for the family too. God Bless You!

I received the news with tears. Denise was a friend from St. Philip's, and we participate in parish activities. We worked at the Fall Festival, we prayed at the abortion clinic, and we went out to dinner. We also went to Mass at noon in DC because we work not far from each other and even went to lunch in Chinatown.

Denise is a sister in the Lord and fun to be with. I will always cherish those moments we shared.

My sincere and deepest sympathy to the family.

Denise was a beautiful person. Denise was my prayer partner during my first pregnancy with my daughter, Abby. Denise was encouraging and thoughtful throughout my entire pregnancy and I nice friendship developed after my daughter was born. I will truly miss her. I'm so sorry that I'm unable to attend her funeral because I'm out of town but please know that my prayers are with you and I will be thinking of Denise.

A wonderful friend and former co-worker, Denise's passing was unexpected even though I knew of her struggle. She was so brave and optimistic, still showing her sense of humor. I enjoyed her company and am glad for the good times we had meeting for dinner, hiking in the Sierras, the Race for the Cure and so many conversations at work. She loved her family and church activities very much. I know that she will be in my thoughts often in the years to come. My deepest sympathies to her friends and family for their loss.

Mr and Mrs Fitzpatrick and family,

Denise was a great friend growing up! She was my tennis partner and close friend. She had such a kind heart and always loved to help people! Even if we didn't keep in touch I still thought of her. She won't ever be forgotten!

With deepest sympathy.

I was so sorry to hear of Denise passing away. Just recently I was wondering how she was doing as I hadn't seen her since the Fall Festival last September. It was great to know her as a fellow parishioner at St. Philips. She taught CCD, marched for Life in DC, and always seemed to have a smile or friendly comment. My thoughts and prayers got out to the family. I will be praying for Denise as well.
