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!

Tom and Ryan, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is broken. I will truly miss her and always cherish the times we spent together. RIP my friend. Until we meet again... Love you girl!!!!

Our deepest sympathy to the Foley family. Denise always had a smile on her face & lots of love in her heart for her family. She will be missed by us.

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.

Tom and Ryan,
I am so heartbroken. Please know that your Mom was loved and will be missed by so many. She will always be with you both and with her precious Maddie and Ben. RIP my Beautiful friend until we meet again

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
