Dennis
Today you would have been 52. You were my first born and I loved you so much. (as I do all of my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren) A part of my heart died when you left last month. I
wanted so much to be closer to you. I pray that one day we will be together again.

Dennis St. Germain was such a good hearted person. Its hard to believe he has left us too soon. I will always cherish the frienship we shared over the last twenty something years. Dennis was a great friend who was always eager to lend a hand, help someone out, or just lend an ear if you wanted to talk. He led a full life in his too short time. He defended his country in the Navy. He was married for twentyfive years to his soulmate and love of his life Therese.
He loved his family. He had a successful career. And he did enjoy the beautiful things in life...nature,birds, and music to name a few. Dennis was kind , thoughtful, polite, and understanding.
He will be missed by all his friends.

Don't think of him as gone away-
His journeys just begun
Life holds so many facets-
This earth is only one
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the fears
in a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think of how he must be wishing
that we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
And think of him as living
in the Hearts of those he touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.

We lost touch over the past years, but from time to time I think of our talks. Rest now, let us who stay behind carry on.

It's been a long time since I last saw Dennis...Heck, we were just kids. His dad was my cousin. His grandmother (Stella) and my dad (Casimer) were brother and sister. It's sad that so much time has passed but I've thought of him over the years and wondered where he was and what he was doing. Sincere condolences to his family.

I would like to offer my sympathy to Dennis' family. I did not know Dennis, but knew his father & Uncle Jerry. His grandmother Stella & my grandmother Helen were sisters.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Dennis will be missed and remembered. He was a great friend. I have known Dennis for 10 years and feel very lucky to have had him in my life. He was a very kind and thoughtful man, who will never be forgotten. We sometimes don't understand why God takes people from us but God has a plan for us all. Dennis feels no more pain or sorrow now that he is in heaven. I know Dennis is smiling down on all of us while he is listening to his music and feeding the birds. We love you and will keep you close to our hearts forever. Until I see you again and I will. Save me a place!
