So sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort at this time. You may not remember me, but growing up as children, we would play together and eventually I babysat your whole family. Your cousin, Norma (Blackmer) Kelly and I are very good friends. I also knew your grandmother, Gladys Russell, who was a dear friend of mine. Please accept my dearest sympathy of the loss of your sister, Denise. Deborah (Burke) Cotell...West Yarmouth, MA

Dear Matt, We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I enjoyed talking with Denise at the library. We talked of our gardens, and I used to give her seeds when I had extra. One of the great things about Denise was that no matter what was happening at the library, she kept information to herself. She stayed above and away from all gossip. She was serene and unflappable. She never complained of all the time she spent at her jobs. I will remember her, and model my behavior after hers at work.

Our heartfelt Sympathy goes out to The family of Denise Fitsch- So very sorry for your loss:( may the loving memories of your life together somehow help you through! Kiki Dennis Marcos friends of Gerry & Cindy Pouliet

May you find peace in the arms of Jesus
