I met Dennis (I knew him as "Bean") in the late 90's in Mexico for this annual thing that honored people who sold the most magazine subscriptions, which we all did door-to-door while traveling the U.S.. He was charismatic...very engaging. I had no idea he passed. Looked him up to see what he'd been up to after all these years. Sending continued condolences to his family/friends. Peace be with you, Bean.

To Dennis on your first anniversary

Today I think of you in silence

No one can see me weep.

But many a silent tear I shed

When others are asleep.

Each time I look at your

picture I can almost hear you say

"Don't worry Mom, I'm only sleeping

and we'll meet again someday."

For all of us who have children

Cherish them with care

For you will never know the loneliness until they are not there.

With love, Mom, Jack, Stephanie and family

Although it has been almost one year since that fatal day when you were abruptly taken from us all,I can still feel the pain as it happened only yesterday. You were one of my best friends and I miss all the days and nights we used to spend just hanging out together. I miss you so much and wish you were still here with me. you were my only brother and my only sibling and nobody will ever fill that missing part of me that is gone. I love and miss you very much Den. I dont think anyone understands the pain I feel inside of me not even me at times.All I can do is thank god that you are in a better place now and wait until the day we meet. Until then little brother.....R.I.P.Your big sister Michelle..I love you always

Today is 11-16-03, I went to Duggan with Dennis and was unaware of his passing until today at the memorial service. I was there for my great grandmother and I heard his name. I was in great shock and saddend to hear. In junior high he always found a way to lighten the mood or just be the class clown. I am sad to know we won't run in to eachother in this world but we shall meet again. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends...

I knew Dennis when I lived on BogHollow Rd. in Springfield. Dennis, Julie Anderson and I use to spend alot of time together. This is very sad and he was a great person. He would help my father out around the house. I feel very sad and I wish I knew him better. But the the time I knew him has been with me through the years. May God bless Dennis and his family.

Dear Beverly -

It was really good to see you yesterday and I am so glad I attended the Mass for Dennis. All I could think about was how I would handle this tragedy if it was my son. I don't know if I would be doing as well as you are. Somehow with the help of God, I know you will be just fine -- you are a survivor. You've had such difficulties over the past 3 - 4 years and have done extremely well, and will do so again. Let's not wait so long to get together. I miss our visits. I hope you feel free to contact me at any time -- day or night.

God Bless.

Love -

God gave us a memory so we could have beautiful roses in the winter. No words can describe the loss we all feel. Nor can words describe our sorrow. Dennis was a special person. Each one of us was given a gift to treasure. That gift is a special memory of Dennis that we will never forget. I believe in angels.

Love Always

When sorrow comes, God's promises

are shining rays of hope

that break through cloudy skies

to bring us warmth and help us cope.

Wishing you the peace that surpasses all understanding and that comes from knowing God is there,

And praying that He'll keep you in His promised, gentle care.
