Denise's office was right next to mine and over the last five years it was such a joy to see her and her colorful blouses everyday! Denise loved to chit-chat about her house and her dog and always answered any question or completed any request with a smile. I was lucky to have shared this time with her and I will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Gary Mills Denise was always helpful to me as I would prepare items to update the college web site for my department. She was even tuned in to my routine to know what was coming up next. She will certainly be missed for her eye to detail. Daryl W Bismarck To the parents, sisters, son, granddaughter, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and other relatives: I am very sorry for your loss. I know that there are many friends and / or former co-workers that feel a great loss as well. Denise made many friends at college, the United Methodist churches where she was a member (Great Falls, San Diego, Bozeman, Couer d' Alene, Spokane to name a few), the places she worked and everywhere she traveled. My condolences, sympathies, and prayers that you receive the help and comfort that you need in this time of sorrow. Heather Redding I am deeply saddened to hear that Denise has passed away. I first met her as a student and rejoiced when she was hired as our webmaster. She was always friendly, cheerful and sincere-- a true WYSIWYG sort of person. Always knowledgeable and ready to help you with whatever problem you brought to her. Her office was right near mine at the library and I will miss her sunny smile as she came in each day. A true professional and a great loss. Teagan Boulier t.boulier@gmail.com I am saddened to hear about your loss. Denise was an amazing lady. She always did things with a smile. Denise and I became good friends when I had the opportunity to do work-study for her at EITC. I learned so much about web development from her during that time. She was an incredibly smart lady. She will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with the Wolff family during this hard time. Dianna Johnston I am so very sorry. Denise was a wonderful person who never hesitated to help. She guided many of us through the intricacies of the web-based programs and never complained. I enjoyed the times we could just chat as well. I will miss her. Marion Lansford mlansfor@eitc.edu Denise was my friend. She came to my house for dinner, and we frequently went to dinner together. We took a quilting class together. I remember when she got Tator, her new house, and the amusing story about the expensive deck remodel to accomodate Tator's needs. She was always so helpful to me and never failed to answer the questions I had. I enjoyed our conversations and appreciated her candid manner. I will imagine her walking down the hall toward me and stopping a minute to chat. With her family, I feel a deep sense of loss. Roberta Lefler I just wanted to let you know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember Denise's beautiful smile and her positive attitude. She will be missed. Robin & Chris Peterson Adam Wolff & family. We are so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. As children, we can't comprehend or fully realize the meaning of our mother's love, how tender and how wise, the patience and forgiveness that are part of every day, the unexpected "little things" she does in her own way. Years go by before we can look back on life and see through older eyes and wiser hearts her love and loyalty. And yet it's these and other special things we'll hold so dear, for memories of her steadfast love will help keep her ever near. May the memories of your mother's love bring you comfort and peace of heart now and in the difficult days ahead. The days ahead will be tough, but time will heal. Reflect on the great times you shared and the laughter you experienced. You and the Duval family are in our thoughts and prayers. Robert Haller rhaller@ida.net I am sorry for your loss. Denise was a great friend. I worked with her at EITC as a work study. Later when I would visit her she would always have a smile and enjoyed the visits. She taught me a lot about Web Design and I want the Wolff family to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and she will be greatly missed. Wilma Scott wscott@eitc.edu I am sorry to hear about Denise. She was a wonderful person. She will be greatly missed.

Gene & Debbie Klein & family We were very sad to hear of Denise's passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord help ease your pain during this very difficult time. Our sincere and deepest sympathy to all of you. Gene & Debbie Klein & family Shirley Bame I really enjoyed working with Denise. She was always so prompt to answer the phone or e-mail when I had a problem. That doesn't always happen with everyone here at EITC. She was a great coworker. Anne and Al Shaw ashaw@havremt.net Betty Jean and Dick, We were so sorry to see the news of your loss. We know how hard it is to lose a child. John would have been 45 the 19th of January.

With all our sympathy and love, Al and Anne Robert Bodily rbodily@eitc.edu I so wanted to attend the Saturday Celebration of her life but will be unable to.

It was shocking to read of her passing in the Tribune. I'll remember Denise for her smile and positive attitude all through grade school and high school. Rebecca Capp I had the great pleasure of knowing Denise many years ago and her first little dog. She gladly welcomed me into her home and showed me the endless possibilities of life, from her knowledge of the computer and the web, to her craftiness. She showed so much of what you can do. I too will never forget her smile and the love of her dogs. She is a shining star. With love Rebecca Barbara Burtenshaw raptorgal_1@yahoo.com I am sorry to hear that Denise passed away. She was a good friend of mine, and she always made me laugh & smile. I know that she is with Father in Heaven, and that she is at peace. She will be missed by all of us. May the Lord bless all of you and comfort you and yours at this time, and always. Sincerely, Barbara Burtenshaw Donna Edling ninah986@myway.com Dear Family of Denise, We were amazed by Denise's brilliant mind and especially her aptitude with computers. She was a delicate soul and hope the warm memories of her will comfort you at this time. Lars, Donna & Anders Edling
