Rev.and Mrs.Harris I was so sad to hear about Dennis. We go back so many years ago at Stallings church.I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. I remember when Dennis came to the funeral home the night of my Brother Bobbys visitation. It had been many years since I had seen Dennis, but we did keep in touch with each other on Facebook. He surely was one of a kind.Soar high with the Angels my friend
