GORGES, Denise

“My Heroes come with wings, not capes.”



Denise passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Thursday, January 4, 2007. A beautiful person known as “Gram” was sent to continue her duty as an angel. She blessed and cared for anyone she came into contact with and will constantly be remembered for her vibrant personality. She leaves behind her two children Don Gorges (Lynda) and Michelle Duggan (Pat). “Gram” lived for her five grandchildren Chris, Shanna and Dayna Duggan, Max and Davis Gorges. She was predeceased by her husband John and her parents Irene and Edgar Bessette. Denise was a special sister to Yolande Carey (late Jack), Lucille LaBossiere (Jerry), Marcel Bessette (Gloria) and Gerry Bessette (Elsie). She will be fondly remembered as a special Sister-in-law and Aunt to many. Denise cherished the great friendships she made with her “special friends.” As a giving person, “Gram” dedicated over twenty years to the Sault Area Hospital as a volunteer. A very special thanks goes to Dr. Walde for his hard work and dedication. His efforts blessed us with twenty extra unforgettable years to spend with our grandma. Dr. Spadafora, other doctors and staff at the Cancer Clinic who helped Denise throughout her life, we thank you. A big hug also goes to the incredible ladies in the Palliative Care Unit. Their constant aid and kind hearts showed how caring of a group they are. We have all been so fortunate and blessed to have someone as special as Denise in our lives. “Gram” will constantly be loved and missed and never forgotten. Funeral mass will be celebrated from Precious Blood Cathedral on Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 11 am. Rt. Rev. Bernard Burns officiating. Inurnment Greenwood Cemetery Urn Garden. In lieu of flowers, Memorial contributions to the SAH Cancer Care Fund would be appreciated by the family.
