To Denise's friends and family: What a loss to the world. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Denise and loved and embraced her feisty spirit. A true Chicago South Sider who was a tell it like it is and passionate, hard working, caring person. She always spoke about her family especially her niece and nephew and how important they were to her. Wishing you my deepest sympathy during this difficult time. May she rest in peace.

I had the privilege of working closely with Denise for four years, and she will forever be one of my favorite people. No one said it more straight then Denise, and I can't think of many better examples of South Side strong like she was. To all of Denise's family, I am so sorry for your loss, I will miss her greatly as well
