I lit a candle Saturday nite, and sat there and remembered my old friend. And was sad. And I went back to my moms house last nite and lit a candle on the porch where we played as kids, and watched fireworks 4th of July couple years ago. Came home today and lit a candle for him. He was always part of my family. I miss the crap out him!

You are a brave soldier Mary O'Dea. I know that because Dennis told me. Many times. The path you have been on together these last years can't ever be well understood by the onlooker but....Dennis came to our Labor Day Family Reunion each September and even in these last days he was spunky, comical, always making sure he poked at me a little, to keep me well balanced. He was my son Scott's best friend, I loved him. I will miss him. My very sincere sympathy to Marnie, Sean and the boys but...

Mary,
So sad for what both you and Dennis had to endure for such a long time. May the love you had for each other sustain you in the coming months and years knowing how much he loved you for the compassionate and loving care you gave him throughout his ordeal. Sending prayers for you and your sons that the wonderful memories you have of Dennis will surpass your sadness .
