    Denise has been a dear friend for many years. She is a child of Christ and I have learned so much from her. She will be missed greatly. Condolences to all of you!

    Denise was the epitome of everything a kind, compassionate, Christian person should be. I don’t think she realized how many lives she touched just by being herself. My deepest sympathy to Patsy, Jack, Jim, Dugan, Haley and Randy, and God Bless baby Alexandra, now in her mother’s arms. Prayers and love to all

    Dugan, your mom was such a warm and friendly person and I was so happy to get to know her a little while you and Zack were at Marmion and Bellarmine together! I will never forget randomly sitting next to her at our first Bellarmine visit and our expressions when we figured out that you and Zack were Marmion classmates! It all started with “Where are you from?….”. Losing a parent is so very hard. I am sure that you will carry the love that your mom has for you in your heart always.

    A beautiful woman.. . I treasure the time we spent together talking about Jesus and her invitation to join Just Faith. I am honored that she was thinking of me and always encouraging when I felt restless. .. I only wish we were able to complete it. I am praying for you and your family. God is building an awesome army and she is one of the strongest people I know.

    Love,
    Mary

    Dear Jim, Dugan, Haley, and Randy,
    Our deepest sympathies to your sweet family. We are lifting you all up in prayer for help walking this journey to bury your wife and mother. We know God will carry you through and provide the strength and courage you all need. We loved Denise and enjoyed getting to know her and your wonderful family while our boys were roommates together at Bellarmine. Dugan is like another son to us, especially after he lived with us that one summer when he worked in Louisville. He is a dear young man to our family. I know to Kyle he is like another brother. I hope all the cherished memories of Denise and your family together will bring you much joy and contentment about the time spent together on this earth. We can all look forward to being together in the next life. Celebrate with joy her life that was well lived. God Bless you all,
    Cathy, Brian, Kyle, Kelly and Christopher Schneider
