Denise was such a lovely person. I was always so happy to see her and Sugarbear at the dog park. We shared a loved of theater and attended several shows together. She was one of the kindest, most caring people I have ever met. I was blessed to know her and mourn her passing greatly.

A dear and beloved friend, Denise brought joy, a generous spirit and laughter to everyone and every occasion. A true measure of a life well-lived is how many people love you. If love could have saved you, Denise, you would have lived forever. XOXO

Denise was one of the most pleasant and jovial people I ever had the pleasure to work with at the Village Library. She always had interesting and informative conversation to share. I will sorely miss working and conversation with her. Just one very nice person to spend time with.

I went to college with Dee - she was a leader in our class, had a wonderful sense of humor, and I know her friends will miss her dearly. I had not seen Dee for many years, but remember her with affection.

Denise was a shining light for us all. Blessed with a wicked sense of humor, a loving heart and grace beyond measure, she was a natural leader and the very best friend you could imagine. Denise was one in a million and she will be dearly missed. I send my deepest condolences to the Boshier family. Denise, your Cape May soul sisters love you forever!❤ Love, Pat Wright Longshore

I met Denise in 2001 when I joined her tennis team in Mt. Pleasant. Very quickly, a subgroup of the team coalesced into a tight-knit band of friends we called "the Ya-Yas." The Ya-Yas played tennis and bridge, and traveled to NYC for dining and theater. We were there when Al passed away, and we missed Denise terribly when she moved to Savannah to be with family. I will miss the sunshine of her smile and her clever, witty conversation. I will not miss her impossible-to-return slice shot which dropped just over the net and stopped cold. She promised to teach us how, but never did...probably on purpose. We will miss you, Denise... Shine on.

I was so sorry to hear about the transition of Denise from earth to glory. I had the opportunity to work with Denise for a number of years during her employment at the Charleston County School District. We celebrate her legacy as an exemplar leader, a strong voice for the voiceless, and a true change agent. While I appreciate her skills as a leader, I'm most appreciative of having had the opportunity to call her friend, a relationship that I will be eternally grateful for. Rest in peace my dear friend and colleague.

She was a real friend, and we shared our love for golf, books, & most of all for Sugar Bear. I will miss seeing her every day.

Sandy and I are so sorry to get this news. Denise was the most wonderful person that I have ever been lucky enough to know.

Worked with Denise for years in Charleston Schools we laughed when we discovered we both grew up in Westfield and had the same birthday. She was a wonderful friend and co-worker who always saw the best and loved the kids. Will miss you Denise.

If you met Denise, you loved Denise. So full of charm, charisma and kindness, Denise always left us laughing. There are so many memories that even now evoke out loud laughter. I have clear recollections of your Mom trimming your bangs, riding with you in Big Pink, the Glee Club singing out your name in answer to “Who is the King of Glory?”, many great nights when we all lived in Virginia. But the one picture that sparkles the brightest is of you on your wedding day. You were such a stunning, elegant bride. I was so honored to be a bridesmaid. Dee, you have the greatest of families. Condolences to all of them. Thank you for your friendship, Denise. Forever in my heart and in my prayers. Pat Trainor Mosquera

I only recently learned of Denise's passing and am quite saddened in this regard. However, I am consoled by the knowledge that she is at peace in the company of her loved ones and enjoying the eternal love of Christ in heaven. Denise had a profound effect upon my life and I was privileged to know and love her. I will never forget her and I will always cherish the time that we spent together. May she rest in peace and may the perpetual light shine brightly upon her. Sincerely, John Christiano
