Not sure what to say?

I don't who who visits this site still..but your notes have been very comforting. please continue to share these wonderful memories with us.

I wanted to share my sympathy with Dennis' very large family. While I only knew him professionally, we shared the bond of being military brats. As an urban planner, I worked with Dennis on many projects about 10 years ago and had not seen him since. His knowledge and professionalism were without question. He's much too young and is obviously leaving a very large void in many places.

Dear Lauren, Anna, and Sarah,
Your dad was such an important part of my life in my late teens and early twenties. He was my confidant and my protector. He believed in me, while I was still figuring out how to believe in myself. You girls are truly blessed to have had such an incredible man as a father. I will miss him so much. My heart goes out to all three of you and I hope that your memories of your dad will carry you through this difficult time.
Love to you all,
Lisa...

Donna (and family)-I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I never had the chance to meet Dennis, but I have seen how Donna's eyes sparkle when she talked about her husband and family at school. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Anna, Lauren, Sarah, and Donna,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dennis was a wonderful person and I am very glad I had the chance to know him. My prayers will be with you.

Hi girls,

I loved having your Dad as my brother-in-law. We spent almost 20 years together dealing with the same challenges of raising children, dealing with life, spending holidays together, and enjoying our company.

The first time I drank Tequila, my first handcar race, the first time riding the Folsom zoo train, the first time I coached a basketball team - all done with your Dad.

I'll miss him, but I have the three of you still, so it will be ok. Take care.

I only met Dennis 2 or 3 times when visiting with Ryan. He always made me feel like a close friend. It doesn't take long to know a man with a big heart.

Dennis was an outstanding man and colleague. I feel privileged to have known and worked with him.

To the Family of Dennis Clift,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dennis sounds like a wonderful person to have known. I work in SJUSD and have heard many wonderful things about him. I will keep you all if my thoughts and prayers. This is a long journey, take it one step at a time.
