I, along with many St. Marys students, met Sr. Denise in the classroom at Queen of the World School. She taught 4th and 6th grade and even High School for us. She taught us not just the normal curriculum but how to love and to live. She was a Novice when we first met, and she took the mystique out of what a religious sister was.....she made it something very real to all of us. The picture says how much she loved to sing, dance and praise God by being.....she embodied what it means to live life to its fullest........
For over 7 years she did Missionary work in Ethiopia and Tanzania.....she brought the same energy and love to people where ever she went....in fact...many places of the world are better for having met her.
Sister Denise, I will always remember your many gifts you gave me....and when we meet again, I hope to say, "Seme qui".....It is I....I have not forgotten this since you taught it to me in 4th grade. Dance with the angels my dear Sister......I will miss you but know you are near....
Eternal Rest Grant unto Her Oh Lord........
