My sincere sympathy to the Geri, Denise and the entire Tennant family. I'm sorry that I could not come to pay my respects, but I just heard of your passing today from one of my neighbors. You "ARE" a great man and will be remembered forever. God definitely reached his hand down for you. Hopefully we will cross paths again someday in the future.
