To a truly beautiful lady both inside and out. I will always have fond memories of the hours we spent watching our children swim - remembering your shouts of “Lea Lea” and “Kay Kay “, and the wonderful afternoons we spent eating and drinking with Carol - I really hope they are making your food nice and hot - just the way you like it. You’ll always be in our thoughts and the world will be a much sadder place without you. All our love Clair, Graham and Family xx

Denise - I remember meeting you on my 1st day in my new job and you will so helpful in settling me in. I will miss our infrequent meet ups - it didn’t matter that we hadn’t seen each for many months it was just like old times when we met - laughing and sharing memories. You were such a beautiful person inside and out with so much to give. When I heard the sad need I sent you a snow angel from the Italian Alps so rest in peace now and always. All my love, Nicole xx

My memories of you will be laughter & fun, R.I.P sweetheart, I will miss you more than words, love you forever Suzie x

We always said coming down to Brighton to visit you was like going on holiday , you filled the room with kindness, & we all love you so much , we will never forget you, there was only one you ❤️

Hearing about Denise felt like a black hole had imploded inside me. I cannot comprehend how it must be for Martin, Kay, Lea, Kelly, Paula and all of her family and friends there.I was devastated to have to cancel my flight with the Virus restrictions, to not be able to pay my respects to Denise and offer some comfort, if possible, to everyone who cared for her. There were a lot of people who did. Denise was one of the Kindest, Sweetest souls I knew. And man did she make a mean Chicken and Ham pie. I’m sure others have mentioned it. She will be so sadly missed. When we left the UK for New Zealand we spent a weekend with Martin and Denise and it was always going to be a difficult goodbye. I am so grateful Keith and I got to spend time with you when we came home last September. After we heard the news here in NZ, we went to our local marina and did some reminiscing. We had spent a beautiful September lunch in Brighton, by the sea finishing our UK visit with you guys. Keith listened to me prattle on with memories. The Christmas’s we spent away and the New years eve’s spent at the Duke of Wellington, such great times. And at least one in the Purley wine bar. What a memorable place. The 12 monkeys film, remember Denise didn’t have a clue what was going on Martin.You called it. The Christmas mass in West Wickham where they told us we shouldn’t eat mince piesand we had to leave to get an Indian takeaway… The day at the dogs where we had waitress table service and Robbie Box was there and the summer days out at Ardingly. So many, many more memories but I’m glad to have them. Lots seem to be alcohol related, but that’s another story and I hoped to keep this short and sweet.I will always remember Denise with joy at the person she was and what she gave backto other people. Comfort is difficult now, but I hope time and with the love of all your friends and family, you will find some peace. Much Love to Martin, Kay and Lea.xxx

You left us far too soon Denise, but I hope you are at peace. I feel privileged to have known you and have you as a good friend. I will think of you often and shed a tear for a friend who was so kind, thoughtful and loved by us all. I will miss you so very very much, big hug xx

To our gorgeous friend Denise, our little group ‘The Wednesday Club’ will miss you so much. We all have such fond memories of you. Your love, your grace, kindness, sense of fun and taste for adventure will always be with us. We have shared so many fun times, sat with you at galas, shared your pride in your family and watched Kay and Lea grow into strong beautiful women. Our Wednesday adventures will continue and you will always be with us. We love you and miss you. Francisca, Tracey, Jenni, Debs and all our family xx

Remembering Denise and thinking of all her family at this difficult time x

Darling Denise with your gorgeous smile. Rest in peace. ❤️

Denise my bestie,
You really were the loveliest friend anyone could ever have wish to have, kind gentle & always thinking of others before yourself. Over the many years, 48 to be precise we had such fun times altogether. We will never forget that cheeky sense of humour or that wonderful smile & laughter we shared. it hurts so much that we wont share that again but now you are at peace & wont suffer any more.
we will always be there for you martin, kay & lea to share your pain & help you all on this difficult journey ahead.
Rest peacefully our beautiful friend.
