Sincere condolences to Margaret, 
Dolin, family and friends of Denika.  I recently heard the tragic and sad news and my heart goes out to everyone.  When Denika was a few months old, at Aunt Nellie's house in Weymouth Falls, Margaret allowed me to change her diaper - just so I could tell her I had done so when she grew up.  I was actually able to do just that when they lived in Malton.  Denika was a beautiful soul and she has left enduring memories.

Denika even today I can’t believe that you are gone, you were a kind, living and giving individual always ready to help. Will always remember the fun we had with the kids , you were a good Mom and Wife ; they will alway remember the beautiful you . I know your soul is resting in peace 🙏🏾

May You Rest Peacefully Aunt Denika...You Had A Forgiving and Kind Heart You Always Meant Well By The Ones You Loved The Most...Your With My Father Now...Your Brother....Take Care Of Eachother!! Fly High  Angel 
Until I See You Again 
Love 
Melissa

The first time I met my 2nd cousin Denika was in July of 1990.  We went to pick her up at Yarmouth Airport in Nova Scotia.  She had flown in to attend her Aunt Vi's Wedding.

I was videoing as she entered the terminal. She had me laughing from the get go. So proud of her tan, lifting her shirt sleeve to show her tan line.  She kept repeating Toronto Tan,  Toronto Tan!

She then starting talking with a foreign accent, she had the accent down to a tee.  I remember her father, Dolin talking to her one day, she stayed in character.  No matter how hard Dolin tried, he had to laugh.

Denika was a precious soul, and at the age of 56 she had a lot of live to live.  Denika will live on in her children, her parents, her sister, her family and friends.  Denika thank you for the laughs. For the rest of my life when I think of  you, it will bring a smile to my face.  God Bless you cousin and God Bless your family! ♥️ 

Our deepest condolences to the entire family on your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Taylor, Nicole, Ethan, Wilf,

Our sincerest condolences for your loss. Denika and I had some fun times while living in Peel Village.  We weren’t just neighbours but also friends and soccer mates. I remember how Denika had a pleasant way of igniting energy and light around people with her big bright eyes and smile. She was always open to the kids playing together, as she loved company and conversations. She was a big help scooping them up after school if I was running late. Grateful for the little favours we exchanged over time.
Life sent us in different paths but Denika’s energy, kindness and laughter will never be forgotten. May she rest in eternal peace.

Sabrina Mohan and family


To the one who helped break me out of my Capricorn shell <3 Your love, your warmth, the unconditional love you emitted...something so special, An angel you are.

Whilst time has passed, you never fail to cross my mind. I'm sure you knew, how much your love and acceptance meant to me. You gave me a second home, you shared your infinite heart with me and bonded us all as family.

Whether, here or there I hope you know how much your love has spread throughout the lives of many. 

To, Tay, Nicky, Ethan and Wilf

I love you all so much and care about you all forever and always.

From my family to yours, we send our love, prayers and blessings.

We all love her so much and love you all so much.

Love,

Janessa .... (J Bird)

My heart cries silently, for the years faded by,
For the distance that became, between you and I.
I need not ask questions, for the past ill leave behind
You’ve Let it all go along with the body and mind
How ironically beautiful, you have found your way out
To a place of well-being, where your mind has no more doubt
You had been searching for so long, simply to be free
From the chaos in your head, that no one else could see
I’ll remember you by your smile and your genuinely beautiful laugh
And all the good things only; that happened along our path
Once again we are connected, not by body but by Soul
Double sided for me big sister; metaphoric as you know
You are united with my child as I now am with yours,
I’ll do my best to guide them here , to get to see you at Heavens door:
I know you will forgive me for the mistakes with you I’ve made,
We’ve reached a new sisterhood, a Better path you now have paved
How mirrored we are, in so many different ways
And you will reflected through your children; in all the coming days
Now you are free Denika, Your heavy cocoon has been shed
Rest In Peace my big sister; I love you my friend


Till we meet again
Your Baby Sis












To the Barnes Family

Denika mother, wife, daughter, sister aunt, friend, a loving, thoughtfull, caring, fun, energetic person, who always brings out the best in you, who made you feel welcome  and comfortable
When I first met you playing  soccer in Brampton through a good friend off ours, Suzy Roach, our kids played soccer together as well as some of the parents of those kids who played on the adult soccer team and that's how I met you and your family
We would  also hang out together ( the team) after games, do meets up for dinners or do potlucks at  some of our teammates homes, my husband who coached our team for a bit. We had lots of fun playing.
After I had stopped l playing soccer for some time we did keep in contact, then we lost contact with each other and after a few years we connected again for awhile and then lost contact for quite a few years again, and now my heart is broken.
From my family our deepest heart-felt condolences and our prayers are with your family at the safest off time. I will miss you loads.
Denika look down on your family who you loved with all your heart and soul, watch over them.
Denika L Barnes you will be deeply missed but never forgotten with your loving
