I met Denise in the late 80's when she became a foster parent. I found her to be a caring compassionate person and as those who knew her have said, she was always reading to lend a helping hand, a listening ear or whatever she could do to help others. I want to thank her for how she encouraged all her foster kids to never give up and to be the best they could be in all they did. Those she fostered, once a part of Denise's life were always a part of it and their extended family benefitted from that relationship as well. Denise, you will be missed by all who knew you but especially by all your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as the rest of your family. To the family, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and that Denise is no longer suffering but sharing times with those gone before her. Though she is no longer physically with you, she will always be in your hearts and memories. Rest in Peace Denise, or dance untill we all see you again. - Posted by: Wendy Phillips (friend) on: May 17, 2025
