Denise and I shared many things over the years: deep and abiding love for our children and families; concern for kids in need; the love of reading and sharing in a book club; fun times at Gasparilla lol; a friendship I treasured. She was a woman of strength, humor, and grace β€” and will be so missed. Rest in peace, my lovely friend.

My condolences to Denise's family and friends. Denise was a friend from Carver Elementary and Carver High. The class of 1971 will surely miss her birthday Greetings and acknowledgements. Talking to Denise was like taking a visit down memory lane. Rest well Denise, you will be missed.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend, Denise Green Cooper. Since fifth grade we have enjoyed conversations on many topics and have been a safe space for each other. Denise was one of the wittiest and most humorous people that I have ever known. May the family and friends of Denise Green Cooper find comfort and strength in the love and support of family and friends at this difficult time.

Extending my heartfelt sympathy to the family of my high school classmate, Denise Green Cooper. May you hold on to your wonderful memories and cherish them in your heart ... and find peace and comfort to face the days ahead. I will cherish the memories of Denise's excellent service as the reporter for events at Carver High School ... and events in the lives of the classmates of 1971.

Beverly Chandler Herring

Sending my deepest sympathy for this time. Denise and I worked numerous trips together and the one that is forefront in my memory was a 4-day Frankfurt trip. Denise decided to join me on a Rhine River day cruise and city tour that was educationally and culturally enriching. Always enjoyed getting her level-headed opinion on events. Truly will miss her updates. Fly high my Sky Friend until we reconnect at the Greatest Layover.

My heart is full. I thought she would be the last of Carver High class or 1971 to leave. She needed to be here to share all the good news. I am going to miss her. "For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 4:14

Deborah Daniels Dawson

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Green and Cooper families. Denise has been my childhood friend from Carver Elementary. I will miss our hours long conversations about everything. We shared a love of window bird watching, beautiful flowers, and love of family. I will always remember our memories during times we shared at class reunions, parties, dinners and as longtime friends. Rest in peace my sister friend.
