Aunt Della, Donna Kay & Donnie,
I posted the other day, but I don't see it here. Mom & I were unable to make it last Friday, but you were in our thoughts. I have lots of good memories of playing with donna kay & dennis 'back in the day'. Nothing can make your pain ever go completely away, just hold all the good things up to your hearts!
Love you guys,

To Dennis' family...
Our most sincere condolences go out to you at this most difficult time. I went to school with Dennis--all the way from 1st grade--and fondly remember him and his joking nature. We had a good time in Mrs. Allen's class, for sure, although I'm not sure she felt the same...:)
If there's anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate...Our prayers are with you....

Dear Heath Family, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Dennis. I went school with him and later he was often a guest in the home I shared with Tony. Many laughs were shared "back in the day" and I will remember him with much fondness.

I worked with Dennis everyday for three years - just him and I. Couldnt have found a better guy to work with. The world lost a great guy. He certainly made me laugh every day! My prayers go out to his family at this time.

This I found to comfort:
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we can not see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
We know your grief and are here for you.

Our sincere condolences to Tammy and the entire Heath family. The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief. Dennis was a great comfort and a good friend to us when Mark's Mother "Annie" and brother "Matt" passed away. We will treasure the memories that we have of Dennis. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

When we first moved to Powhatan, Dennis and my brother, Michael had become great friends in their youth. I would always think of Dennis whenever I would ride down Academy Road. He will be greatly missed. I am so sorry for your loss, please know that I will keep your family in my prayers.
