So sorry to hear about Denyse passing away. She was a wonderful person and friend. I will always remember when we went to Newport to feed the seagulls, lucky dog. She didn't know I was afraid of birds and I didn't know we were going to feed the seagulls! Boy did we laugh...almost peed our pants. She will be deeply missed. My condolences go out to her family and friends.

Denyse had the most beautiful, uplifting, and funny personality of anyone I've ever known. She always knew how to light up the room. Her outgoing personality was contagious, she knew how to make people laugh and make them feel happy. She was a great human being who left us way too soon. I feel so honored to have gotten the chance to know Denyse. Until we meet again....
