Dennis – see you soon!
I offer my heartfelt condolences and prayers for your loss. May the good Lord soothe your pain.
I will miss Dennis, his sense of humor, his wit, and his dogged determination, especially when he was on a mission. But best of all, was seeing how much love and pride he had for his family. Love you Kaye.
