FAMILY CHAIN: We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You Left us beautiful memories; Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
This obituary was originally published in the News & Messenger (Woodbridge, VA).
Dennis was a great guy to know and work with. We worked together for many years on the loading dock. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jane and his family.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Mr Krell was like a second father to me. Early in my life, I was deeply influenced by the pride he showed in his service to our great nation as a Marine and the love he had for his family. We will miss him dearly but he will always remain in our hearts! Love, Anthony Gamboa and Family
