A final goodbye is the hardest of all. . . unless we know by faith that Dennis' body is reverted back to dust, and he now walks forward forever with Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. Because of Christ's resurrection; Dennis, YOU, and I have already rid ourselves of death's sting and live forever in God's promise of eternity. We praise you Jesus that you took all our sin upon you, conquered for us, and overcame death. We thank you Lord that Dennis is with you seeing all God's Glory. Indeed, Dennis Wayne Neely was a good man. Dennis loved and was loved by his earthly family very deeply and I know that you are all grieving. May the Peace and comfort of Lord Jesus be on and in you. We will remember Dennis as a very talented and much loved man.
"Love you babe."
Rest in Peace.
