October 13, 2009 was a very sad day. Thursday will not be any easier. But, Mike and I have many many fond memories. Camping in the summer months is a big memory and I am happy that we have many pictures of all of us together. All the barbecues and watching the kids grow up. What I am most grateful for is last summer when you came up to visit Mike and I where we were camping, that was a good day. I loved watching you and Mike letting all the sweat bees land on you while I watched from the trailer window. There are many funny stories throughout the years.
I am also grateful that I was able to talk with you the last few weeks. I can only say you no longer have to suffer but what a fight you put up and how strong you were.
I want to say how very sorry I am to the family and God Bless you Dennis, now you are at peace.
Sincerely,
Mike and Pam Sagardia
