He was the most amazing person and friend I had the privilege to know. He always made me smile and we would watch TV together, he wasn't afraid to cry... We would sit there with Kleenex and have a cathartic cry. I miss him every day and will never forget him.

My cousin Dennis was a fun, loving, caring person. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. During my childhood, I have many fond memories of my cousin Dennis. May the Lord watch over Dennis and his family.
God Bless,

Dawn,
We were blessed to become pen-pals with Dennis way back in the 80's. Simply the way that came about was a mystery. It must have been part of God's plan to lead Tony into the ministry he is in today.
We were also blessed to have you both visit California. We were able to put people in the picture of our pen-pal friend.
Life and distance have a way of separating people and contacts for a season. However, someday we will all come together again. Dennis just got a head start.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dawn,
I hope your father/Dennis finds peace in the life he now finds himself.
Like wise may you and all those who knew him and Loved him, find it in your hearts to live-on as you believe he would want you to,never forgetting him.
Let us remember that he no longer suffers.
And though he will be greatly missed, we have the memories of him in life of which God allowed him to spend with us.
God be with You and yours,
Much Love,
Mark & Lisa
