Please Support Jesse, Maxx & Madi

Please help provide Jesse time to begin the healing process and be their for Maxx and Madi during this devastating time!

This weekend the world lost a true angel on earth. Denise passed away extremely unexpected after experiencing chest pains. Within two hours of noticing discomfort, Jesse found himself on the floor trying to revive her. If you know their family, you know this has left them completely devastated. Denise left behind not only the love of her life, but also her two young children Maxx and Madi, whom to say she adored and loved with all of her being would be an understatement. She was a true woman of faith and certainly raised the bar as an amazing mom. Her family was her world, as they did absolutely everything together. Their loss is going to be immense. Denise was absolutely a shining light. Being raised in the highlands, she kept that open-door policy we all grew up with. She helped everyone she could, and spread so much kindness to all she knew.  Her laugh could and would, often fill a room. 

With two children, two dogs and trying to juggle putting together a service for Denise, all while trying to handle his own grief, I can’t even imagine what, Jesse, will be going through. Please pray for him as he is going to have to stay strong not only to take care of himself, but enough to try to fill Denise’s shoes, which we all know is going to be next to impossible, as being a proud mom and wife was just second nature to her.

I sure know that Denise and Jesse have done more than most for a lot of us, including myself. They are a family that we all admired and so enjoyed watching their true love flourish. We are asking for your support to help Jesse get through the next few months until they can breathe again and find their “new normal.” Max and Madi just lost their mom and they will need their dad home and as worry free as possible to help them cope.

Let’s all rally and show Jesse that he has a community behind him and how adored and loved Denise was by all. We have already been in contact with Jesse. All funds will go directly towards Denise’s memorial and the care of Maxx and Madi.


This was pulled from Denise’s wall that she wrote on Easter: 

You don’t choose your family.
They are God’s gift to you as you are to them.
-Desmond Tutu 

Please continue to pray for her family, give what you can and share this page wherever possible.  Small amounts add up to make a huge difference! 


God Bless,

Summer & Chrissy
