On October 26th, 2025, our beloved Denise, my bonus mom and my mom’s wife, passed away after bravely battling stage 4 ovarian and uterine cancer for the past year and a half.

Denise fought with incredible strength, grace, and love throughout her journey. Even in her hardest moments, she continued to bring light and warmth to everyone around her. Her kindness, laughter, and spirit will never be forgotten.

She was the life of every room she entered. Denise had a heart that overflowed with generosity and love, always ready to help anyone in need without hesitation. She had a gift for making everyone feel seen, valued, and loved. Her laugh was contagious, her hugs were healing, and her joy was something you could feel just by being near her. She loved deeply, gave endlessly, and left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

As we grieve this unimaginable loss, my mom, Angel, is also faced with the expenses of laying Denise to rest, including her memorial, cremation, and medical bills from her courageous fight. Any amount you can give will help honor Denise’s memory and give her the beautiful farewell she deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support.

*Denise’s viewing and Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 2nd. Her obituary will include more details and times. Please keep an eye out for that update.*
