"I can only imagine, but Dennis knows"
I had the privilage to watch Dennis grow into an awesome godly man. He was almost 18 in the summer of '63 when he diligently courted my mother, to win my sister's hand. Carol didn't even "like" him. Oh, what a love story to be.

Dennis spent most of his life working toward Heaven and getting anyone who listened a few minutes; how to get there too. He literally believed the Bible, loved gospel singing, teaching Sunday School and fellowship...

Carol and family: I am so very sorry for your loss. Dennis was a man of so many talents as well as a great husband, father, son, brother, and friend and I know you are missing him every day. My prayers are with you all; and it goes without saying that I am here for you anytime you need me. Love you all.

Dearest Carol & Jennifer,

I'm so grateful I had the pleasure of spending time with Dennis last winter & having him & Carol, et al in my home for Christmas dinner. Dennis was a kind man, & witnessing Carol's love for Dennis over the past few months in California was touching. I've now met all three of your children, Carol, and what children they are!! You are an amazing family. Thinking of you now and always..

Dear Carol & Family, Our deepest sympathies go out to you. We missed you both this year in Tampa. Dennis was much in our prayers for the past two years. Psalms 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." That tells me that He just can't wait for us to get there. What a comforting thought that we are so much on His mind. May God give you peace knowing that Dennis is with such a loving Father. God's greatest blessings on each of you.

I worked and played with Dennis for maney years while at the railroad. He was always there to help me keep my Jeep runing. Mickey Janney, Terrie Whit,Don Lafferty and I had some great times riding the trails in Craig. Time passes so fast and He will be remembered and missed.

To Carol, family members and especially to Momma (Madeline) Dennis was the brother that I never had. In the last couple of years I became close friends with him as he visited in our homes both in Roanoke and in North Carolina. Just this past summer I enjoyed having him in our home in North Carolina as we attended three nights of gospel singing by many nationally known artists. Now I look forward to renewing our fellowship when we all get to heaven. It is difficult to say good-bye but we know...
