I still am missing you. Talked with Sarah over the wwekend and she was telling us about a pysicic that they had done work for at the mall. I think Sarah is going to try and have her come to your house and meet with all of us. Not sure what she will be able to tell us about you and what you want to say, but i will keep an open mind if we do meet her. Been having trouble with my elbow here lately, but i can't seem to get in with the doctor to get another shot until later in September. We are going to Indiana for about five days over Labor day, we wish you and Genecould have gone with us, because we always had alot of fun when we went. Well better go will email you later.

Love, Goof

Well it has been about a month since i last wrote. It has been very difficult for me since you have ben gone. Tyler has grown a little since i last wrote. I think of you many times a day and still having trouble realizing that you have been gone four months. Gail and I stopped out to see you on Sunday and we pulled the weeds from your grave, because we all knew how much you loved weeds. I wonder if you can hear me when i talk to at the grave site. I like to think you can, because it makes me feel better for a little while. I know that in time things will get better and writing to you like this will help come to terms with you being gone. Well better go, i promise to write you later.

Goof

Will it's been a little over three months since i have talked with you. I do so miss our coversation that we used to have. Since we last talked, Sarah has an adorable baby boy. You would have been so proud, I wish you could have seen him. Things are not as they used to be. I wish we could bring you back but we all know that is just wiwshful thinking. I have be unable to talk to anyone as we used to talk, maybe someday. I believe Gene, Joe & Sarah have picked out a tombstone for you. I has Micky and Minnie on it, so i know you will like it. I will stop out and see you this week. I will talk with you later.

Goof!

Harry,

I am truly sorry for your loss. I also recently lost a loved one and was comforted by the scriptures at Rev. 21:4 which promises a time when there will be no more death, mourning nor outcry. Also John 5:28, 29 promises a resurrection. I found comfort and hope in these scriptures and I hope they do the same for you.

i never new your mother in-law but i here she was a wonderful women to get to know and i hope the whole family knows i care for all of you god bless

Dear Gene and Sarah,

Denise was my boss at the IMU Bookstore while I was in college there. She was a hoot and a half and always was a joy to be around. I have many fond memories of my time there and I wouldn't have been able to get through those long days of work without her. She was always so supportive and handled us kids with a sense of humor. She was a wonderful person and a great boss! God bless her. I am so sadden to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to your family and the people she has left behind. She is remembered fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest in PEACE, Denise. You are missed. <3>

So sorry to hear of the family's sudden loss. We pray that you find comfort in God's arms, knowing that Denise is looking down on you and loving you still.

I worked for Denise at the ISU Bookstore from August 1995 to August 1997. She was always a delight to be around. I remember her fondness for Barbies, Disney and Beanie Babies. We had such good times with her on and off the clock. Best wishes to her family and the grandchild that I know she will be watching over.

I grew up down the street from Denise. She and my sister were best friends throughout school. I became friends on fb with Denise awhile back and I enjoyed talking with her, sharing stories about our families. My family and my dad (Ray Foulk) will keep Denise and you in our thoughts. We are sorry for your loss.

I was 82 classmate at BHS with Denise. I just always remember how nice she was to me and her big smile! God bless her family and you have my family's deepest condolences.

Gene and Sara,

I am so sorry to hear Denise is gone. Please hold on to all the special memories and good times you had together through this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Affectionately,

Sherry Stewart

Gene,

I am so very sorry to hear that Denise is gone. I knew Denise from the IMU where we both worked. She was such a nice person and we shared a lot of laughs. I am glad that I had the chance to know her.

Dee Lovig

We are incredibly sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace and comfort in those that surround you in your time of need. Our thoughts and prayers to you.

Very respectfully,

Michell Freeman Crow and everyone at Freeman Lock & Alarm, Inc.

I got acquainted to Denise and her family on a vacation cruise to the cayman Islands. We all clicked right away and I had one of the best times of my life. I will miss Denise and she will not be forgotten. My only regret is that I have been unable to know the whole family better and visit often with them all.

Although I had not seen Denise in years and years, seeing her High School picture on the site brougt back floods of memories from High School.

Denise was a very kind person. Every memory that I have of Denise is one of her smiling and being a great friend to others.

Although I haven't seen Denise since our 15 year BHS reunion, I always remember her as a sweet and kind woman. I am so sorry to your family for your loss of this beautiful woman. I would like to think that Denise is now dancing with our Lord in Heaven, waiting patiently for the day that she will be reunited with all of you. During this difficult time try to lean on each other and draw your strength from God above through whom all things are possible. May God be with you and confort you in your time of sorrow.

Gene ,Sarah and Joe,

I was so saddened to hear about Denise passing. So unexpected and tragic but knowing Denise she would want you to go living. From the ninth grade I knew her always smiling and her laugh was so infectious! Make her grandson love Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse for her!!

God Bless you all,

Lori Heitmann Wireman

I don't think there ever was a stranger to Denise,as she always made you feel like you had known each other for ever.

My heart goes out to her families and close friends.

Julia Forman

Gene and Sarah I am so sorry to hear about Denise. She was the first friend I had at U of I. Even though she hadn't worked here for several years, she was the first person to call and congratulate me when she heard of my promotion. May you and all your family find peace in Gods' word. You are in my prayers.

Harry- Words alone won't seem like much for you, at this the most challanging time in your life, but keep your family tight, and grieve your loss.

I cannot imagine what you are going through bud, but I know you will be strong and hang in there for your family.

If you ever need a sounding board, stop by the shop any night.

Harry,

I am so very sorry and shocked to hear of Denise's passing. The two of you seemed to always have alot of fun and made many many happy memories. These wonderful times will help as time goes on. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I can't find the words to express how sorry I am for all of you. I am hoping to try to make it to the funeral on Thursday. Please take the best of care and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Deb Wagg

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that Phil and I are here to help in anyway we possibly can. I knew Denise to be a very kindhearted and happy person - even through her pain and trials. We pray for her family's comfort and know that cherished memories will help you as you continue to live your lives. We also pray for the wonderful new life that is coming your way. We know that you will see the child bring fond remembrances of Denise to you in wonderful and even comical ways.

Gene i don't have any words to express the grieve that i feel for you and Sarrah at this time. I hope that as time contiunue's to move along that your grieve will subside and happiness will once again fill yours and Sarrah's heart. I hope that you know how Gail and I feel about both you and Denise. We all met more than quater of a century and soon became very good friends. Gail and I will always cherish the times that we all spent together over the last years and will miss Denise more than we can express with mere words. We are looking forward to creating more memories with you, Joe and Sarrah (and baby). Please let us know if we can do anything for you and Sarrah.

Love Gary & Gail

Gene and Sarah,

I just wanted you to know how deeply saddened I was on your loss. You know how far back Denise and I went. I was proud to call her my friend and I will miss her very much. We have lost one of the kindest and gentleness person I have ever had the privilege to know. I am feeling your pain and sorrow at this difficult time. You have my sincere sympathy.

Annette

Denise was a kind, sensitive person who truly loved and cherished all her friends. My fondest memory was the last time we saw Denise, while dining at Jerrys Pizza in Mt Pleasant Iowa. Gene and Denise met us there and we drove up from Missouri. It was a great time just sharing stories. laughter and good food. You will be missed Denise and I was so glad to have had the opportunity to be your friend.

Denise was one of my favorite customers at what was the Handimart in Coralville. Always a smile, and a laugh. I looked forward to her afternoon visits.

Harry, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours in your sudden loss. May God Bless You All.

We are shocked & saddened at this unexpected loss. Denise was a great friend & will be sorely missed. Our thoughts & prayers go to you, Harry, & Sarah & Joe.
