Freelance writer, and former media editor, Renee Phelps of Remington College comments:  "Denise's unique, down-to-earth style of storytelling takes the reader along beside her, as she travels the racing highways and winding backroads of a life well-lived. On the way, she takes us back to places we thought were lost forever... when we actually saw things in the sky other than stormclouds. When clouds were for sleeping and the stars really were winking at us....and when a beautiful sunset was really worth pulling off the road. From tears of dispair to tears of laughter, her stories include one recurrent theme ... that God is everywhere." Have loved your book!! I was not expecting the spiritual part of it but was very moved by it all!!!! I felt your pain, happiness, saddness, confusion and most of all your total belief in our almighty Lord and savior! Thanks Denise, it has made me take a look at some things in my life. I will spread the word and hig...hly recommend the book. thanks again my friend! Warm Hugs for Dark Nights, ya'll! T Wow! My day has just slowed down enough for me to thank the most thoughtful person I have met in a long time, proof positve that God keeps special angels here on earth for special things. My "angel" gave me what I call a box of "heart bandages" Ms. Denise...THANK YOU from the bottom of my wounded little heart..... It was just....heaven sent! You knew that I needed a shoulder and only "angels" just know, even when you dont! You are AWESOME Denise! I cant even begin to tell you what that meant to me. Except I remembered who I need to lean on in times like these and know he has a plan, I just have to be patient, and if he could tell me something now, it would be "sit down, buckle up, shut up and enjoy the ride!" LOL Your my angel on earth girl! I want to call you, but I cant find which email had your number in it. UGH! So please call the office tomorrow. TTYL girl! Thanks again!  T Dear Denise, after a busy last one and a half months of working 60-80 hour work weeks.......I came home to find a large white box underneath the mailbox. I will be honest that after this past month I was both mentally and physically exhausted. Well, to say the least it was a nice surprise to open the box and see what great gifts I received. The gifts were great!!!!! AND the book "Warm Hugs for Dark Nights"!!!!, what a great book with a lot of personal stories that I think can hit home for so many people. Denise, I'm not sure how many of your packages have been sent by you or the people who have bought them BUT I can tell you with 100% confidence that the package that you gave me i.e. the book and the contents had the most impact!! It came at the right time for again I was both mentally and physically pooped. Thanks Denise. P.S. I stayed up all night reading the book. How personal and touching. My Best and Merry Christmas. B. Awesome writing ... I know you are writing from personal experience but you have a way of keeping the reader perched on the edge of their chair, holding their breath for the next word ... a true gift. I truly enjoyed it and highly recommend everyone reading it! The only thing I was thinking while reading it is the guts it took to actually write it and publish it!! Your heart and soul are in your words...and baring that part is more than difficult...and downright impossible for some. But you did it! And I really think your book and the basket will provide a lot of comfort to a lot of people.... When's the next one coming out?...HA!! R. Hey Denise, I received the gift box that you sent to me. Thank you so much! I wasn't expecting all of that, it was a real surprise! That was really sweet of you! The book looks great.Hope you're doing great & Thanks again! D. Denise, I just ordered my copy. I'm looking forward to receiving it. ~~~~~ I received mine and I can say it's great! Everyone needs a copy! P. Denise, I really enjoyed the book! It's the kind of book you cannot put down until you have finished reading the entire book. I can identify with so much of what you wrote. My dad and two brothers died in our house fire when I was 6 years old, in 1946. All was left was me, my mom, a brother that was 1 year 2 months old and my mom was pregnant and had another son 2 months later. Here we were with no home and no money, etc. A benefit did raise $1000 for us. And , we received clothes. There was no welfare, etc. My mom and I did laundry for people with a ringer washer and wash tubs and I mowed yards with a push mower for 50 cents. Mom married a man that drank and did not work.he had a son with him. But, finally she was able to get a job at HIS in Fulton. But, I knew there was a God and I prayed for him to protect us, etc. Then, a Pentecostal Preacher came to town and started a church in a store building. That started me on my Christian journey..... .....Now, I have another challenge and am depending on God to help me through it . My husband is 81 and has early Alzheimer's. It became my problem to take care of everything again and, make all decisions. But, with God I am able to make it. I didn't expect to write all this but I just got started. Guess it was meant to be. Thanks for listening. Pray for me! P.

Denise,
  Thanks for the seeds of faith, hope, love & friendship! You have given me such a burst of faith - that was much needed! You have made me more aware of God in my daily life. I pray for the day to come when I can be as strong as you and let go of all my pain and fears and give them to God. I've always heard the expression "Let go and Let God." guess it proved to be true for you. I so wish I could offer you the same comfort through m y words as you do to me through yours! I feel very blessed to have met you and very honored to be your friend.
Take Care and I hope to see you soon!

Dear Denise,
 Thank you for the very comforting box of warm hugs. I do find such comfort in reading the book. It has been very difficult these last several months, losing my husband and then my father.

Denise,
 I wanted to tell you I enjoyed your book, "Warm Hugs & Dark Nights". I admire your great faith amid many trials & tribulations. Realizing god is in control of our lives makes all the difference.
Love and prayers,

Denise,
  I received your box and I thank you so much. All the items are really thoughtful. More, though, I thank you SO much for allowing God to use you to bring D and me together. My life will never be the same for having shared the last several years with him. He made my life beautiful and complete. I really miss him, but I take comfort in knowing that he is with Jesus waiting for me.
Love,
N.

Dear Denise,
  I can't tell you how much I appreciated the book. I feel so special to be one who gets to enjoy your writings. I'm enjoying getting to know you better through your telling of your life's experiences. It comes as no surpise that you have a close walk with God, but reading about it is certainly an inspiration.  Again, thank you for your thoughtfulness. Both D and I feel blessed to have you as our friend.
Love,
L.

You know something Girlfriend???? Your friendship is a true blessing to me! You will never know how the first letter you wrote me picked me up Spiritually. It was like I was riding my horse through life and everything was wonderful - Boom... My horse bucked me off and wounded me terribly - Here comes this burst of faith from someone I didn't even know - It's like you picked me up and helped me back up on my horse.... Don't get me wrong... I'm still mad at my horse and miss my family more than words could ever describe - but at least I'm sitting up again, moving at a slow trot, but moving! It is friends like you who helped pull me through.
Talk to you later!
