I was three years behind Denise at Evansville Day School. She was in my sister's class of '75. I did not know Denise well, but she was a presence not soon forgotten. Selfishly, I wish I could have said hello to her at the EDS All-School Reunion in May that highlighted the 50th reunion of the Class of 1975, but she was still tying up loose ends on her mom's estate. From reading her obituary it's obvious she touched a lot of people. She will be missed.

Denise and I have been friends since my freshman year of high school, and there is no finer person on the face of the planet. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to Lynlee and David. I am so sorry for your loss.

Yes, I said family. I worked with her mother-in-law and father-in-law and Linley for years and they treated me like family. I´m so sorry to hear this. I haven´t been in contact for a while but my thoughts and prayers. Good vibes happy memories go to Lindley. I love your grandmother and your grandfather Your mama and you and your daddy. I can´t imagine this burden but she is not in pain anymore.
