Jenna, Bethany and family, I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Even though I haven’t seen your Mom in years, we were very close when you were little. I know she will always be around you, your siblings and her grandchildren watching over you all. Thinking of you, Shelley Creasy

Deepest sympathy to you all. Denise raised lovely daughters! Two of the three ( Jenna and Addie) were my smart, kind, respectful, third grade students. That is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

Jenna, Bethany & Family So sorry for your loss. I have two great stories with your Mom. I will share one that should make you smile. It happened at the Pulaski ice rink. Your mom and I were working the open skate desk together because both Addie and Emma (and Avery) were doing skating lessons in Pulaski and as parents we were required to work them. I had never met your mother before this (and Emma was only 3). As we were working the desk together we started talking about who we were, our kids, etc. during that conversation she asked me why I moved to NYS. Then I said “oh my husband is from Sandy Creek and we moved here to be closer to his Dad”. Then your mom asked “who’s your father-in-law?” When I said Jim Turo the expression on her face was epic. What a small world and funny that this is how I got to know your Mom for the first time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jenna, My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family during this sad time. Love Denise Connors

I love you so much momma. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
