Dear Debbie: We will miss that crazy sense of humor that was uniquely Dennis and his wonderful laugh. We enjoyed having you two as neighbors and friends in Conyers, not to mention traveling buddies. It was good to visit with you this week at the cabin and we know your good memories will sustain you as you go through this rough period. Take care of yourself...you and Dennis were great for each other. Our love,

Cherise (John 11:25)
