<p>When we lose someone we love and cherish, we know they are in a better place. Unfortunately, those of us who are left behind are the ones who grieve and mourn. We try desperately to find a new normal.</p>
<p>Denise A. Bock, n&eacute;e Haines, 63, formerly of St. Louis, Mo., born April 28, 1950, at St. Mary&rsquo;s Hospital in East St. Louis, IL, died Saturday, May 11, 2013, at the LifePath Hospice House in Ruskin, Fla.</p>
<p>Denise was a graduate of East Side High School in East St Louis, IL. She worked for Union Pacific Railroad in St. Louis, MO for 25 years. She moved to Florida in 2002, earned her bachelor&rsquo;s degree in education from Nova Southeastern University and taught school at Ruskin Elementary since 2007. She was a beloved daughter, a loving sister and a devoted aunt. She enjoyed traveling, reading and classical music. But most of all, she enjoyed her nephews.</p>
<p>She was preceded in death by her father, Bert E. Haines.</p>
<p>Surviving are her parents, William and Diane Jarosik of Sun City Center, Fla.; brother William E. (Grace) Haines of Colleyville, TX; sister Rebecca (Ronald) Dori of Millstadt, IL; and the true loves of her life, her four nephews, Anthony Dori of Millstadt, IL, Benjamin (fianc&eacute;e, Jenny) Dori of Greenwood Village, CO, William Haines Jr., of Colleyville, TX, and Benjamin Haines of Colleyville, TX; loving aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends Barb, Kathie, Melanie, Wendy and Pam.</p>
<p>There will be no funeral service, but the family would appreciate memorials be made to LifePath Hospice House, 3725 Upper Creek Drive, Ruskin, Fla. 33573, C.A.R.E Shelter, 1528 27th Street SE, Ruskin, FL 33570 or charity of donor&rsquo;s choice.&nbsp; Acknowledgements may be sent to Rebecca Dori, 3507 Dori Lane, Millstadt, IL 62260.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s only so many ways to say I LOVE YOU, Denise and there are no words to express how terribly lonely I&rsquo;ll be now that you&rsquo;re gone.</p>
