Nancy:

My deepest sympathy in the passing of your husband, Dennis. Proverbs tells us to Trust in God and Lean not to our own understanding. Trust! I'm praying for you.

Dear Nancy,

I am shocked and saddened to hear of our loss of Dennis KT3D. Dennis was a fine, active member of our NASA Goddard Amateur Radio Club family, right up to the very end. Our thoughts and prayers will remain with you and your family for a long time.

Take heart. Please call on us anytime, especially on matters relating to our radio and wireless passions, and as a friend forever.

Sincerely,

Pat N8PK

Have sometimes thought of you folks since we have last seen each other, been far too long. As the opportunity presents itself, next time I am in the DC area, I shall contact you and maybe we can get together for coffee. I offer my most sincere condolences.

Your contributions to the GSFC community and JWST Project were numerous. There was still more work to be done, more programming to be developed, and many more discussions to be had. But we were short changed and will enormously miss you, your patience and wisdom, and your sense of humor.
