We will deeply miss our cousin Denise, and her sweet and loving presence. Though we were far away, Denise always felt there in person whenever we spoke on the phone. This was her kindness, her good humour, her caring nature and her love for all the family shining through. We admired this about Denise, that she could keep such love in her heart despite all the pain she had known in her short life. Denise knew that her health was failing, but she faced this final struggle with great courage and honesty. We and our families send deepest condolences to our aunt Marie-Claire, who was there for Denise until the very end.
