I grew up with Denise in Clifton and we had a great childhood. We spent many days hanging in Clifton and going to Shawcrest Motor park and the wildwood boardwalk. We connected again and started playing games on Facebook where she always killed me in Words with Friends. Her parents treated me like I was one of their own. We had a great night out a few years ago with all of the Clifton girls. She was so much fun. So glad we reconnected on Facebook and she always talked about her children and grandchildren. She was so happy with her family. She will be missed. Prayers for all of you. She was such a great person. Rest In Peace my friend. Love you!

I cannot even begin to write about memories. There were just so many from the time Clara and my mom went to school together to the time Clara became my godmother. Spider and my dad, Snapper, were best of friends. We spent many, many years together in Wildwood and Clifton. God comfort Ryan, Tom, and all family members. You had an awesome mom.
