Dear Mrs. Popejoy, David, Alexander and Kimberly,

I was so very sad to read about Dennis. It was wonderful to see him at our 35th high school reunion in 2006, but missed him in 2011 and 2016. Dennis always had a smile when he was talking or listening. Such a joy to be around. Done too soon. I prayed for you during the service today as I missed the blessing of being there.
