    Dear Ann, Danny, Kathy, and James, We send our deepest sympathy to all of you. Denise was a valiant fighter and always had such a kind heart. I remember when she was so sick this summer that her main goal was to get back to the work she loved. And I know how much joy her nephew, James, brought to her life. She will be greatly missed by so many people. There are no words that can help at this time but eventually it will soften the edges of your grief to who how well respected Denise was and how many people loved her.

    I knew Denise from working at the Wingate Middleboro facility, where she was not only an advocate for one of our patients, but she also covered for our MDS nurse coordinator. She was a lovely lady. I feel blessed for the privilege of working with her. God bless you and may she watch over you from Heaven.

    Denise: There are not enough words in the world to tell you how much we loved and now miss you. What a princess you were! We are forever grateful for all that you did for us and Nicole, even when you had no strength. When you and I were recently talking I told you then you fought a fight that no other could have endured and every battle just seemed to make you stronger. Well "princess" you can finally rest in peace and know one deserves it more. Heaven just got a real GEM (yes your favorite thing to buy). All our love Tom and Terri
