From Adam:

Dear Friends, It is with deep sorrow but with a grateful heart that I inform you, at approximately 4:15pm Thursday, Denise left her earthly body and is now in the presence of Jesus. Her broken body is now fully restored. She can dance, sing, and enjoy the delicacies she so longed for. Thank you all for so much support in so many various ways as we have gone through this very difficult time. Please keep our family and the Zito family in your prayers. 

My name is Lisa Long.  Denise was my freshman roommate and one of my dearest friends.  I have set up this fundraiser with Adam's permission.  The fundraiser will say that the donation will benefit me but Adam and I are working together and all donations will go directly into the Harpers' bank account to offset Denise’s final medical expenses.
