31. No one is less a fan of Denise than I, but give her a break, she did love her mother, and is hurting. Think if you lost your mother. So sorry for her, the father and the girls, who will never get to know Grandma. They are so young now, they won't have much memories. But, I think Denise loved her Mom so much she will tell her girls about her mom. Sorry to the family for their loss.

37. It's ALWAYS hard to lose a parent. Especially when you're raising little ones of your own. You can never pick up the phone again and say "hey Mom or Dad what do you think about this and what did you do when this happened...?" How bout never hearing her voice again or feeling her touch? It just sucks period!

45. .......gene: Why don't you shut up you stupid excuse for a human being. You have no common sense about you. Do you know Denise personally? I don't think so. You don't know anything about her life or what she's been through. No wonder the world is such a horrible place-because of cold hearted people like you.
