The family wishes to thank all the wonderful nurses, doctors and staff of the Lady Dunn Health Centre and the Sault Area Hospital, Rev. Fr. Michael Asorgoe of St. Monica’s Parish, and especially her dear friends Donald and Gabby Landry, Linda Guindon (John), Carole Pitre (Michel), Lise Gagné (Luc), Ann Fenlon and Gary Simard (Hannah, Dana and Meghan), Don Clark and Jean O’Brien.  Words cannot sufficiently express our heartfelt gratitude and thanks.

Denise was an active member of her community which she cherished and loved so dearly, and she was a friend, mentor, tutor and coach to many of its residents as well as beloved foster mother to many children.  She will remain forever in our hearts, and her love, laugh & smile will never be forgotten.

At this time no formal services will be held, but a Celebration of Life in honour of Denise is planned to be held in the Spring.  Memorial donations to the Lady Dunn Health Centre in Wawa would be appreciated by the family.  However, remembrances may be made in the form best desired by friends.
