Dennis was a remarkable man...Although his physical presence is gone, he will remain in the hearts of all who experienced the pleasure of his company. May the love you shared with Dennis, the memories you created together sustain you until you meet again. May God give you the strength you need to carry on...
God Bless,
Mary
