We’re asking for your love, prayers, and support for our mom, Denise Rocca, as she navigates a very difficult season. Denise is a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother, and a woman of deep faith. Her warmth, joy, and passion touch everyone who knows her.

Since 2021, Denise has been facing a serious health challenge that has deeply impacted her and those closest to her. Over the past six months, her condition has taken a noticeable decline, and the demands of her care have grown immensely.

Throughout this difficult journey, our dad, Tim, has been her unwavering caregiver, providing around-the-clock support and balancing work to help offset mounting costs. His devotion is a testament to their love of nearly fifty years.

Denise’s passion for life shines through everything she does. She loves Jesus, cherishes her country, and finds joy in planting beautiful gardens for herself and others. Her home is a reflection of her heart and is carefully decorated (especially during the holidays). She delights in celebrating Jesus at Christmastime, but does not discount the magic of Santa. She enjoys hosting gatherings and has always welcomed friends and family with open arms for a home-cooked meal, and of course, her favorite sweet treat—ice cream.

As we walk this challenging path, our family is committed to surrounding Denise with the love, care, and prayers she deserves. The costs of her medical and at-home care, along with preparing for end-of-life expenses, have placed a heavy financial burden on us.

We humbly ask for any support you can offer to help ease this burden. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to Denise and our family during this tender time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Michael and Jenna
