Thoughts and prayers are with all today as you celebrated Denise's life. So sorry that I wS unable to be with you. Denise was the first person I met when I started at THS. She was busy setting up her room but took a moment to welcome me . Her room was only two doors down. I remember her wonderful laugh Denise was not afraid to speak her mind yet she would be one of the first to give you a big hug on a bad day. We shared a love of animals (I remember how upset she was when her dog died ) but most of all I remember how much she loved her two sons. And how her eyes lit up talking about her granddaughter She was always there for them just as she was always there for her students. Rest in peace.
