Our loving thoughts are with Sue and the family. As fellow Trailmanor owners, our paths crossed several times. When I think of Dennis, I think of the word "joy." We will miss him and send love to you, Sue.

Sue and family,
Although it has been many years since we've seen you or Dennis, it seems like yesterday that we were in high school together. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Sue and family, I knew Dennis too many years to count. I first met him when I was looking for a carpool to Tobyhanna for work. I can remember many good discussions about Christianity and how to live it. I then attended Cannan Baptist Church with him and Pastor Dan Baker. I can remember sitting in on his sessions with Pastor Dan and the tapes for the radio broadcasts they did together. I lost track of him for a while when he resigned his position at Tobyhanna Army Depot. I can remember his big smile and laugh. I pray that Father God would comfort you in these times and remember that as a born again believer in Christ you will see him again in Heaven. He touched my life and I will try to emulate him.

Remember - God keeps ALL His promises, His Word Tells us in regard to the death of His Children: "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord". 2 Cor 5:6-8. ( The Bible)
Our prayers are with you during your loss and Dennis's eternal gain. God Bless !

We offer our deepest sympathy. When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, many cry out with great sorrow. Your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life. Never was it his purpose for our human lives to be taken away. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, prayer to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible assures us God "is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot." Psalm 147:3

We are so sorry for your families loss. My greatest memory of Dennis was his laugh and huge smile. Growing up as a teen I remember him coming every two weeks to record with dad for his radio broadcast for the Carbondale radio station. Dad and Dennis had a lot of good times together those days. Ours prayers are with you Sue, Amy and Chris and your family.
