My dear friend, Denise. Although we hadn’t seen each other in many years, I’ll always remember you with love and fondness. We kinda grew up together….our mothers met while working at the White Castle in Nungessers NJ. We were about 4 years old. Your mom took care of me often. Your whole family always made me feel welcome. We would walk to the store for our favorite Drake’s Devil Dogs. I remember when you met Tommy …. So long ago and so many memories. Great, warm memories. Rest in peace my red haired lovely friend.

I remember always hanging out at Denise and Big Tommy’s house in North Bergen with her sister Roni. Especially when Erin was born (we took her everywhere with us) She always made me feel comfortable. Anytime I saw her I gave her a hug hello! You will be missed! Till we meet again.

Denise, my friend my sister - If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again." Will cherish our many years of friendship and you are forever in my heart and - With love always - Fern

Denise was like a second mother to me. Always warm and inviting through her presence and her strait sense of humor. She had an open door policy to her home no matter how many of us knuckle-heads would pop in and out, eat all her food or otherwise terrorize what surely would have been a more peaceful home had she not let us run amuck. You know you’re welcome when you walk in and open the fridge with no hesitation after leaving your bike strewn about the driveway as an unintended obstacle for the adults with cars. She was happy to let us take over the living room, basement, garage or yard whenever the mood would strike us while she quietly oversaw our shenanigans. She even extended open invites to any and all holidays. Christmas in particular at the McCarthy residence always brought with it the most beautiful and meticulously decorated Christmas tree and well wrapped gifts. Those traditions of generosity and hospitality live on through her children today. She was a dutiful, family first mother to many who always put her own needs second. She filled her home with people, pets and love that I won’t soon forget. She will be greatly missed. She was and is greatly loved.
