    I want to send my sympathy to the Gillespie family. I’m so sorry to hear about Denise. ?? We were together when she lived in BLAVKVILLE and shared lots of laughs and wine drinking. I loved having her around cause I was sure to have lots of boys following cause she was so beautiful inside and out!
    You still have a place in my heart Denise …..rest in peace my friend. May God give the family strength the next few days. David and I will have a drink of wine for old times for you. Cheers.
    Love you Anita and Brent.

    Denise had a warm and generous personality. And, for many years, was always the prettiest girl in the room. Lots of the memories that pop into my head and bring a smile are those unexpected candid moments we shared. Learning to knit. Cooking something that didn’t turn out and laughing about it. Trying on ugly shoes. She loved greatly and was greatly loved. Goodbye beautiful Denise. The angels are lucky to have you with them.

    May fond memories of your sister/daughter bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these before she passed away. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. My condolences to Nancy, Ronda, Jamie, Kim & Cam. I am speechless at this news of my dear friend Denise for so many years we were friends since early public school. I now live in Port Dover, ON and through a friend found out about Denise. Sorry that I will not be able to attend but my deepest thoughts are with you and your family. I have many wonderful memories growing up with Denise & she will always be remembered by me. Love you Denise, may you rest in peace now.
