I just found out about Dennis's passing through a fellow Girard classmate today. So I am sending along belated condolences to Cindy, she is truly an impeccable, dedicated person who so loved Dennis. And what's not to love about Dennis because I always thought he was Santa Claus disguised as Dennis. Always jovial and could find light in the darkest situation. I will pray for Dennis's soul and for Cindy's comfort in this time of deep sorrow. We are all at a loss.

He was very important ,always been there for me and my sons, especially after my husbands death. Never missed a special occasion in my family. He was so happy to tell me about when he met you. He loved you very much. I know how much you loved him and you took such good care of him. He is in God arms. His spirit is always with you. We love you,too.
