Greetings

Unfortunately, we (REP) want to share some upcoming difficult news for everyone who know and loves Denise. Many of you have competed with and against her for ages while she was in Empire, then The Odd Fellows Union, and most recently in The Republic.

We have been given notice that her time amongst us is growing short, and she is entering her final days. She had previously announced to us a health issue that has been determined to be terminal. Its been an honor to play with her and get to know her myself, but after a short discussion with her she has given permission to announce to the rest of the site.

With this time, I invite anyone who wishes to share their thoughts, fond memories, farewells etc here. Denise may still be able to read some of your messages for a short while, and your words can help give her a few more smiles. I know they will mean a great deal to her, and to the rest of us who are still keeping her and her family in our thoughts and prayers.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers during this time. I just thought with the community that we've all shared over the many many years, more than our little group may want to know and have a chance to express some thoughts before its too late.

With a heavy heart and reflection

Jason / IcePack on behalf of Denise

Very sad news, you will be missed Denise.

I remember all the good times we had, playing together, against each other, fighting in the same clan, you playing in my tournaments, all of which was always very enjoyable.

Thank you for the joy you brought.

Sucks. She was always one of the most pleasant people to play against on the site. Didn't have any games on her team but I do know she kicked my ass ALOT. ♥You will be missed Denise♥

This is really sad. I will miss her really. I knew her mostly for her time in IRON, she was always ready to take any game needed and always in good spirit and charming in forums and group. She had a good record with us and helped us in some of our recent titles.

I remember when she told us she would left IRON and whitdraw from my tournament. I did not knew the reason but I'm sure now this was why. We said to play a teamgame together soemtime as we never did and unfortunatelly we might never will. She'll be missed.

Denise was an awesome leader of the Fugawi Tribe and has been a great clan mate in The Republic.

Thanks for everything

Jason, thank you for giving me this opportunity to say good bye to so many dear friends I have made while playing the game. I wish I could write a few of you more personalized messages. Perhaps that's a mistake a made earlier in not doing so, because I don't have the words to do so now.

I am at the end of a fight with pancreatic cancer. I would rather not have but, still, my heart is full of love and gratitude for the many blessings, love, prayers on my behalf, and the much comfort I have received. I have learned a lesson and that is that the world is full of good, wonderful, people. Our world is full of tribulation and sorrow, to be sure, but still there is reason to rejoice as long as we can love, forgive, accept differences, and forgive ourselves for not being perfect.

Thank you for your kind words, everyone. Until we meet again.

Denise,

It's very sad to hear that this is happening to you. Although we only had conversations on the internet and not in personal, it touches me very much.

I wish you a lot of strenght during this period and hopefully you can enjoy the precious moments left with family and friends.

I am sorry to hear this news, but do know that in the end we all care about each other and will be with you in our minds, hoping for the best in difficult times.
May you get the best you can out of the situation.

Denise,

I don’t believe I have an eloquent way to say this:

I missed having you as a teammate and steadying voice after you left TOFU and always hoped we could play together on the same side again. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It was an honor knowing you.

Always fun to play against, always a GL and GG from Denise without fail. A great player that I've never beaten in any capacity, because they are just better than me.

Sorry for all that's happening. Hope you enjoy some peaceful days.

[Devante]

A great player and even better person. Although most of our interactions were through IRON you were on of our best personalities and Tribe mates. Wish you and your family strength in your fight and our prayers are with you. This site will be a lot less sunnier without you in.

Thanks for everything Denise.

Denise,
I am very grateful that I got to team with you while we were both part of TOFU. I am so sorry to hear about your health battle. I love your sentiments that you shared in your post above, and this world would be a much better place if we all could learn to love each other and forgive one another. God Bless you and your family during this tough time. Thank you for the wisdom you shared with your teammates over the years, and the wisdom you shared as you finish this earthly journey.

You will be missed...

Denise,

I am so sorry you are going through this. Although I was never lucky enough to play on the same, you have always been a great opponent to play against.

My thoughts are with you during this time.
