To the Yanchick Family,
You are all in my prayers... I use to live down the street from you guys and use to come play Nintendo with the boys (& Serena :) Mr Yanchick use to always kick us out and tell us to go play outside. He also use to take me to vacation bible school. Thank you for the experiences... God is watching over all of you. Again... you are all in my prayers...

Dear Kathy and Family,
It is with great sadness that I heard of the loss of your husband and father, Dennis. He was a blessing to so many and God used him greatly to bless and inspire those who knew him. I am one of those who's life was touched by this man of grace and lovingkindness. May you be comforted now in knowing that Dennis is enjoying the reward that the Father has prepared for him in heaven.
With Much Love in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Christine (Murdaugh) Leal

Denny, although I know that you are finally home and at peace (probably fishing, eating lobster and imagining that the Cubs have won the World Series), I am so incredibly sad. I cannot imagine the world without you. Your unique humor and spontaneity were endearing to all those who knew you. You made a difference in my life and the lives of my family. Denny, you have given and taught me so much and my life has taken a different path because of you. God put you, Kathy, David, Stephen & Sarah in our path and we were given the special gift and privledge to be a part of your lives. The memories we created will be cherished and help to ease the hurt that overwhelms us. I know that we will meet again someday. As Rob said, "jimmy the back door" for us and we will all meet in heaven. All my love and prayers...Belin
