Denise, as I always knew her, was my roommate at Lenoir Rhyne. I can honestly say that she had more influence on my life than any other friend I have ever had. We lost touch over the years, but I always thought about her and how I could get in touch. Sadly, I waited too long. Was shocked and saddened to hear she had died and will always live with the regret that we never got back in touch. And to hear she was in McClellanville when I am in Pawleys Island makes me even sadder. My wonderful memories will sustain me and my hope is that they do the same for her children and family. Gone way too soon...

I am so sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Dee Crosby. She and I became friends and roommates in Charlotte for a short time when I was in school there many years ago. Dee also mentored me in Charleston when I worked in television news for a period of time in Myrtle Beach during the 80s. She was the consummate professional. I had lost touch with Dee over the years and do not know her children but I send to you my sincere condolences.

We are left brokenhearted. I will always remember her deep love for her children, family, and friends. She was generous and honest. She was talented in so many ways, and had an open heart for others who faced difficult times. I will miss her always.

I was very honored to chat with her on Facebook PM a few weeks before her passing. We've talked about WCIV 4 in the 1980's. My thoughts and prayers goes to her family.
