RIP Denise met her once in Seaham as I knew her son Mark who attended the same school as me (Northlea Secondary School). A fine woman who spent a great deal of her life helping people. Mark is a great drummer - was in the Meteors shame I lost touch with him.
I'm really shocked at this...I had a good chat with her just a few months ago when I was running the security for a lecture she had at Sunderland Uni..She came across as a lovely woman and told me how much she loved standing on the top of Tunstall Hills looking at the view of Sunderland..
Very sad news, met her once under very odd circumstances, when she stopped her car to offer me her brolly, as I was getting soaked, thanks to a right prat I was working for at the NGC, I will always remember her kindness.
