Ms. Ambrosini, Whenever speaking about you before your passing, the words "so nice" were the words to describe you. It is effortless to think of you this way because you defined what being of service to others is all about. That kindness of yours is what all the people you've known will carry forth, and we will be motivated and inspired to have those traits that made you an amazing person. When people ask what life is about, a big part of the answer is doing what you did so routinely - touching many lives in positive ways. Our hearts go out to the Ambrosini family. Corinna and Matthew Pittana

My deepest condolences to the Ambrosini Family on the loss of their precious Denise. She was such a kind-hearted, genuine and dedicated person. I worked with Denise at St. Joan of Arc and she always had a smile and kind word for everyone she worked with. No matter how her day was going, she always went out of her way to be kind to others. I will always remember that about her and will miss her greatly.

My deepest condolences to the Ambrosini Family. I only have the fondest of memories of Denise during our highschool years - her smile was eternal and she was always a kind, gracious, and gentle soul. (When my mother would supply-teach, Denise was always quick to greet her and ask her how her day was going. Her kindness was felt by everyone.) Rest in peace Denise.

Ms. Ambrosini, I cannot believe that you are gone. It is still such a shock to me. Though I never had you as one, I know you were a great teacher. You inspired a lot of people and they couldn't be where they are without you. I remember coming to your guidance office and talking to you about what I wanted to do after high school. You were always so supportive and ready to help. You wanted to see your students succeed and you did everything you could to make sure of it. I know that you will always be loved and missed. And we will always remember you. My deepest condolences to the Ambrosini family. Rest In Peace, Ms. Ambrosini.

Ms. Ambrosini, you were absolutely one of the nicest and best teachers I have ever had. What happened was so sudden and still to me, unbelievable. You were and will forever be remembered as such an amazing and caring person. I will never forget you for the incredible impact you had on my life and the lives of other students at St. Joan of Arc High School. I remember my days in 10th grade in your Careers course, you made them special and put my life into perspective for the future. I am grateful that God allowed me to be in the presence of such a truly beautiful person. Rest in paradise, Ms. Ambrosini.

Denise, in the short time that I had the priviledge of knowing you, it was clear to see what a wonderful person you were and how much you were loved by those around you. You have left too soon but your memory will definitely stay in the hearts of everyone who was blessed to have crossed paths with you in their lives. My deepest condolences to all family and friends.

Although we did not personally know Miss Ambrosini, we heard nothing but wonderful things about her through our son, Julian who is a grade 12 student at St. Joan of Arc. She was part of the ESP committee that he is involved in and "empowering students" is what this woman truly did. She had a huge, positive impact on our son's life and made the time he spent at SJ more memorable for being part of it. He referred to her as "his buddy". It is a shame that she was taken so soon and did not have the opportunity to further impact the lives of other students. Our son will truly miss you and your jokes and smile. This has been a very difficult time for him, but he has nothing but wonderful memories because of the way you touched his life. We thank you for taking good care of our son. You will truly be missed. We have no doubt that you will be doing many more wonderful things......Rest in Peace. The Muia Family

My condolences to Ms. Ambrosini's family and friends. She truly was someone very special and will never be forgotten. Thanks Ms Ambrosini for all the talks! You were always there whenever I needed you and never looked at me as "just" a student. You were always so approachable and I knew whatever was on my mind I could share with you and you would always make me feel at ease. You also gave me the confidence to believe in myself and that if I put my mind to it, I could do anything. I still believe that it was your encouragement that allowed me to go from barely passing grades, to getting into colleges and universities with scholarships. I thank you once again as if it wasn't for your guidance and support I would not be where I am today.

I once read - it is in time that heals all wounds but Love. I am sending all my love to the Ambrosini Family and to all of you who are feeling this tremendous loss. I recently reconnected with Denise after the passing of our fathers, and it was as if no time had passed. You always were one of the easiest people to talk to, and I will definitely miss that! Over the years, I always felt connected to you, I would run into your mom at the grocery store and she would fill me in on all your successes. I will always regret that we never made it out for that coffee, but your passing is definitely a reminder of how precious our time on earth really is. God has truly taken one of our best! Now go find MJ in Heaven and do the Moon Walk! Love You Always! Grace

I too remember Denise fondly from high school, and this was definitely difficult news for me to hear, particularly because my memories of Denise always go hand in hand with words like "kind", "gentle", "giving" and "unselfish". My deepest condolences to the Ambrosini family and those that were closer to her than I. I wish you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Condolence From Claudio Mirijello

It is never easy hearing about the loss of someone. When I got the text from my aunt this morning I was in complete shock. Denise you had a smile that could light up a room. As I type this my eyes are swelling and filling with tears. I pray the lord takes you by his side to watch over all of us. You will be dearly missed.

Dearest Darling Denise, words cannot even begin to express the sadness and loss that i feel. We have been best friends for 23 years and you have filled my life with love, support, guidance and incredible memories that will last a lifetime. You are one of the most genuine, selfless, giving people i know and this world is at a loss for losing you. I give my sincerest condolences to the Ambrosini and Antinucci family but most of all i give my deepest condolences to you, Denise. Your life has been ended far too early and i am so sorry for this. I love you with every breath i take. Love until the stars stop shining.

There will never be a time when I will not miss my dear friend and trusted colleague Denise. No matter what life threw at her, and she seemed to have more than her share, she always had the time for a smile, a joke and a huge hug. I will miss her dearly. I can only hope that all of us can learn a valueable lesson of treasuring life's gifts from Denise's tragic and untimely passing. We can all honour Denise's life by being kind to one another and always taking the time to laugh and love. My sincere condolences go out to her Mother and Brother and the rest of her family. Denise's legacy lives on in the lives of the hundreds of students who she helped. Farewell for now my friend! much love, Terri

Its with a very heavy heart I leave this message. I've known you since grade 6 and we were good friends all through high school. You never ceased to amaze me with your positivity, selflessness and warmth. You were such a good friend and confidant and I'll never forget the talks we had and the laughs we shared through good times and rough, even up until just recent. I'll always remember you fondly and with a great deal of respect and warmth. My deepest sympathy to the Ambrosini family, I hope it brings you some comfort to know she left a big mark in many peoples lives.

It seems like yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Ambrosini. Her warm smile and demeanour made it easy to open up to her. She was always there, to give advice, listen and above all provide spiritual and academic support for my daughter Andrea. Words cannot express the sadness we feel about her passing. Andrea referred to her as an "Angel who will watch down from heaven on us"...and I truly believe this. She made such a difference in my daughter's life and I truly thank God for having known her. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. God bless you, Sandra, Andrea Li Calzi and Family

My deepest condolence for Ms. Ambrosini's family and friends. Both my daughters Natasha and Laura had Ms. Ambrosini either as a teacher or as a student counselor. They both looked up to her so much, and so did I as a parent. She had such an influence in helping to shape the lives of so many young people. You have touched the lives of more people than you ever realized. You will be missed by many.

Ms Ambrosini was the first teacher I had at SJA and truly changed my life. She inspired me and supported me, motivated me and mentored me all throughout those four years in high school. If not for her, I would not know how capable I am and what I can achieve if I work hard enough. Thank you for getting me involved in extracurriculars and for your dedication to me as one of your students. I loved how your door was always open and talking to you was so easy. There isn't enough room here for me to enumerate all the ways in which you profoundly affected me, so let me just say that I am forever grateful for your presence in my life, however brief. I will remember you fondly for the rest of my life.

Denise, the little sister that I always cherished and laughed mercilessly with. I will never forget all the wonderful laughs and memories that we shared since high school. This is one of the saddest days of my life because friends like you are one in a billion. I speak on behalf of everyone that loves you when I say you touched all of our lives in such a special and unique way that words can't accurately articulate. I love you little sis and you will always be in my heart.

Condolence From Andres

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:57:29 EST

I can't think of my days in high school without thinking of the tight group of friends that I was lucky to be part of. I guess most high school kids think that their friendships are the strongest there are. It might be cliche, but I do think our group of friends had a strong bond as we went through the typical trials and tribulations that teenagers inevitably experience. Denise was always the voice of reason in our crazy adolescent minds. Her smile never left her face, her kindness was far reaching and her friendship deeply valued. It is with fond memories that I remember Denise. You will be truly missed. Thank you for the memories and the amazing times we shared.

Condolence From Frances Ilari

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:43:06 EST

Words cannot express the loss and grief that I feel, as many others do. Denise was a true friend to me in every sense of the word; a kindred spirit. I will never forget and always cherish our friendship, our long talks, and her unconditional, loving support. She was one of the most giving, selfless, compassionate souls I know and love. I am honoured to have had her friendship and will miss her terribly! My heart goes out to the entire family during this extremely difficult time.

I would like to send my most heartfelt condolensces to Ms. Ambrosini's family.

Condolence From Diane

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:09:06 EST

Ms. Ambrosini was the first friend I had in high school. She did not treat me like a child, we had a mural respect and genuine connection. She was my first teacher also, she motivated me, she was so easy to talk to. Just the thought of the way she laughed brings tears to my eyes. I recently went back to visit my high school teachers, she was the first one on my list but since it was the first day of school, everything was too hectic. She reminded me never to take life for granted, she was such a special person and she changed my life. There are very few people in life that you actually connect to, Ms. Ambrosini was very special to me. I didn't get a chance to tell her, but it was a blessing to have her in my life.

Condolence From Lawren

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:40:06 EST

Miss Ambrosini was my first high school teacher when I started grade 9 back in 2004. She was one of the sweetest, most compassionate and genuine person I have ever met and had the honor to be mentored by. Even as a guidance counselor she was always excited about what everyone wanted to do in life and always put her best efforts into helping each one of us out and always pushed us towards our dreams. There could never be a single negative thing to be said about her because she was always filled to the brim with happiness and positive energy. It's a terrible shame that future students of SJA will never have the pleasure to be guided by her. I offer my sincerest condolences to the Ambrosini family.

Condolence From Matthew

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:15:52 EST

I had the honour of knowning Denise as a student for only a short time, but in that short time, I gained a high respect for her. Denise is and will remain to be a model for academic leaders, she showed great care in what she did and everyone could learn to be better from her. My outmost condolence to the family of Denise, be proud of what amazing things she accomplished in such a short period of time and the lives she influenced.

Miss Ambrosini always took time out of her day to attend my academic future. We waited for 40 minutes with USA colleges to find out information about hockey scholarships. She helped me make a huge decision in my life: attending UofT for biology. Always with a smile, thank you for your time <3 you will be missed
