Denny L. "Ole" Ericson

Den, I still think about you everyday. I love and miss you always. You will forever be in my heart and on my mind. Loving you is easy missing you is so hard.

Still miss you every day. Can't believe its going to be 13 years on the 29th. Love you forever!

Well Den, it's been 11 years since you went to heaven. I still think of you, miss you and love you everyday. Looking forward to the day we get to be together again....hugs and kisses

Hi Hun, Ok, I lied. I had to write one more time as this is one year since you left me. I still think about you and miss you everyday.
It is hard to believe its already a year. In some ways it seems to have gone really fast and others ways it seems longer.
A bunch of the old gang are getting together today with Jerry as she is going to be here from Iowa and wants us all to get together and chat about Darrell and such. Tough day to socialize but on the other hand it will be good for me.
It will be hard not being able to write to you anymore but i can still talk to you when ever i want.
You will never be forgotten, and will always be in my heart,
LOVE YA AND MISS YOU DEARLY

Never forgotten

Hi Hun, Well this will be the last entry as this book will be closing down soon. I truely miss you daily and love you.
This past year has had some many different changes in my life and how i feel about things. It is sometimes totally overpowering.
Scott Lindboe called me last nite and invited me to a family get together over Labor Day weekend. It is going to be up north on Rick's old land so i wont be going but thought it was really sweet that the Lindboes included me.
Darrell called this morning, i hear from him every once in awhile. I am glad that he keeps in touch.
On the anniversary of your passing i and our old gang are meeting with Jerry at the VFW to chat and such about her Darrel as he passed on a bit ago. Kind of a hard day for me to being doing that but perhaps it will be helpful for me also. God leads me where he wants me to be i believe.
Things are cool here, we celebrated Jerm's birthday on Sunday with him and Lindsey. We went out to eat and to a movie that Jerm wanted to see. Wasnt my kind of movie but oh well. We had fun.
Jerm is going to Morris this weekend for his cousins wedding and then again in a couple of weeks for his other cousins wedding. He will get plenty of Andersonised. LOL
Next week Jerm goes to Detriot for work. He has to do a photo shoot. He will be gone all week. Hope he gets to site see some.
Mark and I are going to go to the state fair this year. That will be fun, you know how much i love it there.
Well sweety, although i wont be able to write you anymore, know that i will never ever forget you or stop loving you.
See you when god brings me home hun.

Hi Sweety, It has been quite awhile since i have written.
We went to Vegas and had a blast, but lost my money. Oh well.
4th of July was fun but i thought about you alot that day. The first holidays without you are always hard.
I think of you often and miss you everyday. I am truely blessed by Jesus tho to have Mark in my life now. He is a very good man, as you know, and makes me very happy.
I don't have much more time on here to write to you and they will take this away. It has been very good therapy for me being able to write to you this way.
I can't believe it has been almost a year since you have left. Time sure flies.
Even when i cant write in here anymore, please know that you are always with me in my heart and always will be.
Love you and miss you. Your loving wife always

Hi Hun, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. I am sitting here a bit blue thinking about it being our anniversary but trying to just be happy for you and where you are and knowing i am happy again now to. But it is the first anniversary since you have been gone.
Mark is still sleeping so it gives me time to deal and cope and put it all away before he gets up.
We bought a car now. That is going to make things so much easier for us. It's an older car but with very few miles on it as it was a lease car for a business.
Tomorrow is Tickera's birthday, she's going to be 10. Dang she sure doesnt act like it. She still acts like a dang kitten most of the time. Spoiled brat, LOL.
Well Hun, i am going to stop for now, I know your day will be wonderful as you are in the best place in all creation.
Love you and miss you.

Hi Hun, Happy Memorial Day. Of course on this day you are in my thoughts and in my heart. Miss you like crazy.
We are going to Marks friends house today for a Memorial Day get together. He is a really nice guy and alot of Marks friends will be there, so should be fun.
Not much new around here. Things are slowing down finally. Perhaps no more deaths for awhile. That will sure be good.
I went shopping on Saturday and bought some new clothes and a swimsuit for Vegas. Now i just need to get a little color on me. LOL You know how white i am.
The pool opened Friday. People have been down there steady since it opened. Those sun worshippers are always down there, just like the other years. Guess i will be one for a couple of weeks just so i dont burn at the pool in Vegas.
Stacy had a party yesterday till today and we we invited. Jerm called and wanted to know if we were going and if we needed a ride. I told him they dont need us old folks hanging out with them. It was really sweet of Stacy to invite us tho.
Tickera is still the same brat she always has been. But she is finally liking Mark. Took her some time to adjust to him. She would give him the funniest looks like HEY you aint my Daddy.
Well sweety i best go, love you always and miss you everyday in one way or another.

Hi there sweety, I finally got to go put flowers on your grave and i was so surprised. The bigger tree that is right by you is a flowering tree and it looks so beautiful, all pink flowers and shades your spot so nice. I was very happy.
It's weird that i am the only one that ever writes to you. But i feel so much better after i write to you. Don't know what i am going to do after this is done the end of August but i feel blessed to even have had this amount of time to be able to write to you. Miss you and think about you all the time. You will always be in my heart and soul. Just cause i found another love doesnt mean i love you any less. You are in heaven with our heavenly father and Jesus and i know you are super happy. That in its self makes me happy when i think of you. You are healthy and happy. I am on earth with Mark my new love but i know we will meet again when god decides my time is done.
I WILL see you again hun. KISSES and HUGS from below to you above.

Hi there Hun, Not alot new with me, pretty much the same stuff. Just wanted to touch base as you have been on my mind considerately more the last couple of days.
Miss you tons and will always love you.
My cousin Frankie and my great Uncle Art passed away. Sure hasnt been a good 8 months for deaths. 8 in 8 Months is way to much for me and i sure hope it slows down now. Tho Wendy told me last night that Jeff Lindboe has inoperable lung cancer and doesnt have much time left. UGH UGH UGH Doest it ever stop?
Mom, Cin, Rick, Auntie Millie and I all went up to Monti for Uncle Arts funeral on Sunday and came back Monday. Seeing everyone was cool, the funeral was sad for me.
I will see Mom, Cin, David, Rick, Donna, Uncle Leroy, Aunt Millie, Jerm, Lindsey, Tony and Katie on Saturday. That is when we are all getting together for Mothers day and going to the Old Country Buffet. Should be fun.
Wendy called last nite and i believe we are getting together with them and the other girls on Mothers day. They want to take us out to eat. So sweet of them.
Kaela has her prom this weekend. Isn't that weird to think about. Our granddaughter going to prom!!
Well i better get to the silly housework, it is never ending it seems.
Love ya

Hi Sweety, I had to go to the doctor yesterday as i wasnt feeling very well. Turns out i have a bladder infection. UGH, now i'm on antibiotics for a few days.
Afterwards Robin and I stopped by your grave and low and behold your mark is in place. I cried and cried. But it is very beautiful and now i feel much better knowing your marker is there and you arent an unnamed grave anymore. Next week Robin is going to bring me there and i am going to put fresh flowers in your vase.
I am going to Las Vegas in June hun. Mark is paying for the trip and i am very excited but also nervous as i havent traveled in a very long time. And leaving Tickera for 5 days makes me really nervous. But it will be so fun. 6 other people are going also so will be a fun time with friends.
Miss you and love you everyday.
Now onto housework YUCK YUCK.

Happy Easter Hun, We had a good day with my family. Went to the Old Country Buffet and ate to much, LOL. I bet your day was better being with Jesus on his special day tho. How cool that must be.
Still haven't heard anything about your marker. Sure wish they would hurry up with it. It is nice enough out now to do it. I am hoping that they put it in this week as it is going to be nice all week.
Tomorrow morning i have to go get some blood work done. Checking on my Triclyercides and make sure they havent went up. If they did i will have to go back on Tricor. Hope they are still down.
But now that i am eating more regular food it may be that they went up again.
Miss you and love you. Think of you everyday.

Hi Sweety,
Went to Ric's memorial service yesterday. I was very tough and i got very emotionally drained. Good service tho.
Deb (Pollock) showed up. I talked to her for a bit. She said she didnt know about you until months after you were gone. Thats a shame.
After the service we stopped by your grave, your marker still isnt in. I expect it to be put in place very soon tho. I will be happy when you have your marker.
Miss you and Love very much

Hi there hun, Well as i am sure you know already that your best friend has died and hopefully joined you in heaven. You know what happened so i won't even say how. The girls are really shook up and me to. Dang him......
Other than that everything is cool here. Life is moving along rather quickly, i can't believe you have been gone 7 months already.
I will be seeing the girls this week, havent saw them since Christmas, so i am really looking forward to seeing them. I miss them alot.
We went out to a movie and dinner with Jerm and Lindsey for my birthday. It was my choice of where i wanted to go and believe it or not i didnt pick Red Lobster. LOL. I picked Olive Garden and then i ate to much. My birthday was fun tho, celebrated all weekend actually.
Miss you lots and love ya tons.

Hi Hun, Happy St. Patricks Day! We are going out for cornedbeef and cabbage later. YUMMMM, i can't wait. You know i love it.
Not much new around here. I can't shake this dang cold i have tho and i cough all the time. Gee do you think it could be the cigarettes? LOL
Think about you often and waiting now for the ground to thaw, as the snow is about gone, and then your stone can get put in place. I will be happy when that is done. I hate you not having a marker.
All went well when Jerm came over and met Mark. And then Saturday, Mom, Cindy, Rick and Donna came over. That was fun and went well also. Still kind of weird for me to introduce someone else to the family but life changes and goes on.
I love you and miss you always.
They are done siding our balcony and now all thats left is for them to replace the screen. The place looks really nice.
Now the girls need to come and meet Mark. I would really like that.
Robin is coming tomorrow on her way home from work to take me to Walgreens so i can get some Jontue. Almost out and cant live without that you know, LOL.
I better go now, LOVE YA AND MISS YOU

Hi Hun, It's been awhile again since i have written to you. I think about you everyday and miss and love you always.
Today Jerm is finally coming over to meet Mark. Needless to say i am very nervous. I just pray that they like each other. It was so much simpler when he was only 7 and you and i hooked up. Now as an adult it seems really kind of scary.
I wish you could see me now hun, i have taken off 46 pounds and almost look like i did when we first started dating.
They are almost done siding our balcony. Should finish it up Monday morning. Dang i can't wait for this project to be done. Pound, pound, pound. Thats all we hear anymore. It really looks nice tho. And the new windows are really nice also.
Our screen is still cut of course and i am sure they won't replace it till they are all done siding this place, or perhaps even wait till they are done with both places. Tho they haven't even started the other one yet. It is really taking some time to do everything they are doing. But it will be worth it in the end.
Brenda is getting married hun. This fall to some dude from up North. Wendy says he is really nice and i am so happy for you girl. I truely hope she will be truely happy this time. She will be moving up north when she gets married, thats the only draw back. But if she is happy then i am to. It will be a bittersweet day for sure. Brenda being so happy but neither you or her Mom being there will be hard for us all. I know you and Barb will be watching from above but dang it would be better if you were here.
Well i have to get busy around here before Jerm and Lindsey comes.
LOVE YA AND MISS YOU

Hi Love, It sure is a mess around our place right now. All the siding is torn off and our screen is cut. They came yesterday and put in the new electrical outlet on the balcony and today we get new windows. Needless to say the house is in real disorder, the furniture is moved all over the place and the curtains are laying anywhere we could put them. Ugh, anal retentiveness went right out the window. LOL
This weekend is Valentines Day, sure will be weird not celebrating it with you. Remember last year, we spurged on Lobster and you cooked it for us. I guess we both knew that was our last Valentines together. I miss you so damn much hun. Life as i knew it is gone. A new and totally different life is going on now and i am really happy. Just still loving you and missing you everyday.
Mark and I are going to a sweetheart dinner on Friday night. We are having Steak and Shrimp.
It will be fun, we get along super well. He is pretty much over here all the time now. He does go home occasionally but i really would like it if he moves in with me. Hope that is alright with you. There are times i want to talk to you so dang much. You have always been the one i talked to about everything and now when i need you the most to talk to you arent here.
I Miss you sweety and will always Love and Miss you. Until next time, hugs and kisses

Hi Hun, It has been a bit since i last wrote you, sorry, no excuse, just been busy.
Phil Ottney passed away the other day hun. It has been really hard on me, so many mixed emotions, but i did decide i wasnt going to the funeral. To dang hard, i just cant do it.
Life is constantly changing and 99% is really great, i am very happy with my life right now. But i miss you so dang much and love you, and loving someone else makes it so hard.
I never thought this could happen hun, you are my love, but somehow Mark and I have really connected and i am in love with him. Oh dang, that don't mean that i love you or miss you any less. It just means that life moves on and i have also. Nothing and nobody can ever replace what we had hun. You are and always will be my own true love.
But Mark is so sweet and i truely love him. I sure hope you approve and are happy for me.
Dang hun, i wish you could see me now. I am down 45 pounds, almost like when we first hooked up. You would love it.
It's almost Valentines Day, hard day without you but i hope you know, you are my always Valentine. Mark is truely my Love now and i will celebrate with him. But i will take time out alone to honor and think about you for sure.
Ok, i guess i have rambled on enough, i Love you and Miss you so much Den. Sometimes i just get so mixed up with my emotions cause i love you and Mark.
Will write again soon. I think of you everyday, still in my thoughts and heart constantly.
LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU

Hi Sweety, Sitting here thinking about going to bed soon and missing you tons. Had an extremely busy weekend, but really fun. Went to the casino on Sunday nite and actually walked out of there ahead, can you believe it? LOL
I watched our new president get sworn in today. Very interesting, i was actually impressed with his speech. Now if he only means all those things he said. Time will tell, i just asked god to protect us all.
Life is going good for me right now, i never seem to be home anymore, or not much. The single life is tiring. Ugh.
I so wish you could just come down here for awhile and talk to me. I have so much to ask you about and to talk to you about. I need you so much sometimes. I really just wish you could somehow let me know if you approve of Mark. That is the only thing that bothers me, is not knowing how you feel about all this.
I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU forever and ever hun. No matter if i love someone else, i wont stop loving you. I hope you know that.
Well i suppose i better sign off now, Good night hun, love ya tons.

Hi my dearest darling, Sorry i havent written in so long, but my computer was out of commission. HAPPY NEW YEAR hun.
Life has changed so much for me, i love you and miss you greatly and always will.
I have found someone that is very special to me. I hope you approve of my choice. I know you have been telling me for years now to move on and find someone and fall in love again. When you were saying all that it just made me sick to my stomach. Now, i understand, and i am moving on but not without you in my heart at all times.
Not one day goes by that i don't think of you and miss you. And i always will love you and miss you.
A new year, a new start. Strange as it seems to me sometimes, i really am enjoying Mark's company.
Darling, i hope you are looking down on me and smiling. That is what keeps me going is knowing you are watching out for me still.
I'm off to do the grocery shopping now so talk to you soon.
LOVING AND MISSING YOU CONSTANTLY

Happy Happy Birthday Baby...... Wow, this is so hard. First time in 28 years i havent been able to give you a birthday kiss. I know your birthday is much better for you now but i sure do miss you tons.
Yesterday Jeremy and i went to Brandons funeral, dang hun that was a tough one. So young. All our boys were there tho, that was the only good point of the day, was seeing all of them.
I feel sort of lost today, knowing its your birthday and you arent here. I'm glad i have tons of things to do today to keep me busy so i dont just sit and cry all the time.
I have such a bad cold, one of the worst i have ever had. Not alot of fun, especially since i just dont have time to indulge it, must keep going to get ready for Christmas.
Speaking of which, you know how hard it always is anyway, well now i am missing you and Daddy. This is a tough time and i am just trying to keep my mind from getting dogged down with it.
You are still the first thing i think about when i wake up and the last thing i think about before sleeping, and of course i think about you many times during the day also.
Life without you isnt nearly as fun. I miss you so much.
I don't know if i will get the chance to come on and write the next couple of days so Honey you know i love you constantly and miss you, enjoy Christmas with our savior. You are the blessed one, being there for that special day.
LOVE YOU MISS YOU ALWAYS

Thank you Julia.......Merry Christmas

Remembering Den and thinking of you and your family as the holidays approach.

Julia Hospice RN

Hi Sweety, It's been awhile since i have written, sorry about that. I think about you all the time and miss you so very much.
I think i am finally finding some peace in all this, at least i dont cry all the time anymore. That doesnt lessen the love i have for you or how much i miss you but i does help me to move on and begin living again.
Looks like your stone marker wont be put in place till spring, for that i am sorry. I hate you being an unmarker grave, it makes my heart sad but i cant do anything about that as it hasnt come in yet and now its to cold and snow is here. DRATS.
I have so much to talk to you about but not here, i will just talk to you like I always do. Life is taking alot of turns right now and i am trying to get my grip on it all.
You will always be in my heart and i will always love and miss you greatly, you who are my best friend, my sweety and my baby.
I wish you could come down and tell me i'm doing the right things right now, sometimes it's so hard to decide, as we always talked about everything.
Hey baby, I am going to do Christmas Day with all the kids and grandkids. Can you believe that? I think i have lost my mind since you left. The things i am taking on, WOW.
Jerm said him and Lindsey would come early and help me cook so thats good. Tho i already have the whole menu planned and i hope everyone will be happy with it.
Ok i best get going, LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TONS

Hi Baby, Happy Thanksgiving. It totally sucks without you here today hun. I know i still have my family but it's not the same as when you were here. Sometimes i just get tired of telling everyone i am fine when i really don't feel fine at all. Smile, laugh and be happy, yeah right.
Last night Steve J. was having a really hard time dealing with you being gone and i had to console him, isn't that weird. Dang, here i am consoling your friend when i am still trying to figure it all out myself.
Anyway, i am missing you something terrible today, well everyday, but today seems worse. First Holiday without you and it sucksssss. Sure wish i could see you again, i sometimes stare at your pictures for long lengths of time but that doesnt even help.If you could just come down and visit me so i know you are still thinking about me, that would help. I LOVE you and MISS you so dang much. I didn't think it would be this hard. I am still waiting for the one day i don't cry, it hasn't happened yet. Ok, i better stop rambling and get my stuff done around here. MISSING YOU AND LOVING YOU constantly. Kisses and hugs

Hi Sweety, Missing you something terrible tonight. Sometimes it's just harder then other times.
I went out to dinner with Wendy, Bill and Kaela Friday nite. It was soooooo good to see them. I hadnt saw them since a week after your funeral.
Cin, Dave, Mom, Jerm, Lindsey and I are going to the Old Country Buffet for Thanksgiving. Like we did last year hun. It wont be the same without you tho. But then nothing is the same, no even my brain. I think you took my brain cells with you when you went up to heaven.
It's so lonely here hun. I don't like living alone much but it's ok i will manage.
Anyway just wanted to talk to you for a bit, love you and miss you so much.
Still waiting for your stone to get done and hoping it can still go in before winter truely sets in but not sure if it will be able to cause its really cold now.
The Chaplin is coming tuesday for grief councelling. Not really sure what to expect but guess i will find out. She will probably think i have totally lost my mind.
Sure wish you would come and visit me and let me know you are here. I need you so dang much
I miss us talking and you making me laugh so much hun. Seems all i do now is cry and cry. I haven't went one day yet without crying. I just miss you so much.
Well i best get off here now baby.
GOOD NIGHT LOVE.

Good Morning Baby, Yesterday Dawn took me to the funeral home and i ordered and payed for your stone. They are putting a rush on it so GOD willing if the weather stays decent and they get the stone done in time, it can be put in place this month. I am sooooooooooo praying that will happen.
The wreath i ordered for your grave is on it already. It looks so nice. It will stay there all winter, so that makes me happy, at least you have that even if the stone doesnt get to get on there till next spring. I also hung a small glass Jesus from the tree right by you. Hope you are seeing all that is there. I'm sure you are tho.
Last night all the power went out in the area, it was blacker then black in the whole building. I was feeling a bit anxious about it, when Gayle a lady from down the hall knocked on the door to see if i was alright. She came in and i lit a bunch of candles, then her daughter came. In just a few minutes there was another knock and it was Ruth from next door checking on me. She also came in and we sat and drank water and chatted. Weird night that turned out cool cause i got company.
Just as Gayle was leaving and standing in the hall the lights came back on, so i wasnt alone in the dark very long at all. What BLESSING from God those women are. I was extremely happy that you weren't here for that, cause i know you would have panicked without your concentrator. I thanked God for you not being here for the outage. He sure blesses me over and over everyday.
I'm hoping to go play bingo tonight with Steve, Jan and Billy. It has gotten to be something we do now on thursdays. It's fun to get out and socialize with my friends.
Well it's time for devotions so i will close this for now.
LOVE YOU and MISS YOU tons and tons baby.

Hi Sweety....... Today is 8 weeks since you went home to heaven. I can't believe you have been gone that long already. Tuesday Robin and I went to your grave, it looks really nice with the grass. I just cant wait till we cant get the stone on there. Perhaps if the weather stays halfway decent i can still get it on there soon. As my finances now say i can. Hopefully!!!!!
I went to the VFW with Steve and Jan last nite and Diane from Rostamos came in. She is doing good, tho she had knee surgery 4 months ago and has just started back to work. She didnt know about you until the other day so she came to see me. She is going to come next Thursday and play bingo with us. That will be fun. We always really liked her Huh?
My days without you are so boring and lonely. I can only clean so much and then what do i have to do. NOTHING. I miss you and love you so much that at times i just cant stand it.
It is easier when i am away from the house. At least i'm with people then and laughing and not just sitting here thinking about 24/7.
I'm going to Amy's baby shower on Sunday. She is going to have a boy and she's naming him Bruce Lee. To funny. Deb Pye is picking me up, that is so sweet of her. And perhaps after we may swing into the V. Will see what Deb wants to do, it matters not to me one way or the other. I am going to go and play Texas Hold Em tomorrow tho. I always have fun doing that, but you know that.
I know you are happy where you are and i am so glad and at peace about that but sometimes the selfish me wants you to come back sooooooo bad. I know you can't and don't want to tho. I wouldnt either if i was there.
LOVE YA AND MISS YOU TONS

hi sweety, Well hun as i'm sure you know its has been 28 years now that we lived together. We didnt quite make it to that. I still miss you everyday and you are in my thoughts all the time. Life is getting a bit easier but still so many unfinished things that i wish would get taken care of.
Today is my 6th day without a cigarette. UGH That isnt always easy as you remember. But i really am trying hard not to pick one up and smoke it. Last nite Jeremy told me that if i smoke again he would take up smoking. Good incentive not to smoke huh.
I'm going to a book signing party tonight for my friend Andy. He has his second book that just came out. Should be interesting, since i have never been to anything like this before.
I getting a ride from Billy so i wouldnt have to get there so early. Our son kept me out to late last nite. lol Doesnt he always
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALWAYS. YOU ARE MY HEART

Good Morning hun, Time goes by so slowly and i still miss you every minute. You are always in my thoughts. Things are still a bit crazy here. Hoping someday all this stuff gets figured out and done with, my brain hurts from it all. I look at your pictures a hundred times a day, just trying to capture your essence again. It's not working so well but i still love looking at you. Tickera has finally settled down and don't tizz out when i say Daddy. I'm sure she is still missing you also but she deals with it better then me. Not one day has gone by yet that i havent cried. Wonder why that first day will be, if ever. Life is really boring without your humor and love sweety. I wish i would have captured you on video or something. I'm so afraid im going to forget your voice, your smell and everything else. I don't want to forget anything about you ever. You were and always will be my heart, or a very big part of it. Wow i can't believe its been 9 days since i last wrote to you. I talk to you constantly but of course you dont talk back to me. Well i guess i better go now. LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALWAYS.

Hun, I am missing you sooooooo much tonight. Part of that is because one our support group guys passed away a couple of days and i found out tonight. Which brought everything back to me. And because it's still so dang lonely and quiet and sad here. I just would love to hug you again and kiss you and hold hands again. Sometimes it hurts so dang much. You are still and always will be my greatest love. MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU TONS

Baby it's been a month already that you are gone and it still hurts just as much. I miss you so much and love you tons and tons. They say time heals and i know thats true but time wont take away i love i have for you ever. Some days i just cant stand it at all. All i want is you back and thats selfish and not going to happen anyway. I sure hope you are looking down at me and keeping me safe hun. It starting to look like i wont be able to put the stone in till next spring, which bothers me. I really want that in place but not much i can do about that. LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

Baby, its three weeks now since you left me for heaven. It's still so dang hard and things i don't expect to set me off. Last nite i was at the V for bingo and i went out to have a smoke and this lady came out wearing oxygen and that did me in. First time i have saw anyone with oxygen since you passed. I miss you so dang much hun, sometimes i just dont know what to do with myself. I love ya and wish we were still together. Going to Moms today so i better get busy. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU

Deb -
So sorry to hear of Denny's passing. And I'm sorry I didn't know about it sooner. I know he was a huge part of your life!! Trust in yor faith, give Tickera a huge hug, and remember the great times you had. Denny is no longer suffering, and he is looking over you!! Please stay strong and take care!!

Love ya - Barb Becker (Zeph)

Hun, Watching the Viking game without you wasnt so much fun. And they lost. I had a bit of a melt down last nite at the V. There were like 6 guys playing the bagpipes (our favs) and i was missing you and then the last song they did was amazing grace and i started crying alot. I just wanted you there so much to hear them. They were really good. Dang, i miss you hun....... its so quiet and lonely here by myself. I hate it. Big Brother is coming on soon. I miss us watching it together. I miss everything about us hun. This sucks, just so you know. LOVE YOU TONS

Hi hun, Well your death certificates came today. That was sooooooo hard. It still doesnt seem real and i keep thinking i will see you again.
Tickera was sick tonight, all over the livingroom and computer room. Fur balls, what a mess. She is rather mopey tonight also so i think she is really missing you baby. If i say daddy she looks up at me so sad. I don't know how to make her understand.
I'm still waiting to hear from S.S. grrrrrr they sure take their dang time about things. Guess they don't care about my finances.
Miss you like crazy and love you so much. I suppose i shouldnt write in here all the time, but it somehow helps me feel a bit better. Like i am really talking to you. anyway i'm off to bed now......... LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Good Morning Sweety, We got the thank you cards all done, which feels good. Time is soooooooo slow for me now, seems at times it stands still. It's to quiet and lonely here without you baby. Slowly but surely i am trying to get things in order. Sometimes i just dont feel like doing anything tho. I LOVE you and MISS you so much but know you are so happy in heaven. Tickera is bugging me so i better go see what the little girl wants. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU

It's hard to believe you have been gone a week hun. I wander around aimlessly here. You were and still are a hugeeeeee part of who i am and i miss you so much. Sometimes i just pretend that you are away but coming back home, but that doesnt work all the time. Are you watching me now? Watch closely now. Please stay by my side and keep me in check, it's even hard to think when you arent here. Den, i love you so and this is hell without you.

I want to thank everyone who has wrote in this book. Each and every one of you are so special to us in one way or another. Through these tough times, just reading these entries helps me so much. I am totally in awe of all the love and compassion soooooooo many people have shown through all this. I knew we had alot of friends and family that cared but, wow, this has really been unbelievable. Thank you all again, on here and those who have been coming this week to Den's visitation and funeral. GOD BLESS you all

I was Den's Hospice nurse. He showed such strength and spirit. (He was just a tad stubborn ;) and I had great admiration for him. He was also very funny, even while in so much discomfort.

Deb, I admire you for your courage, and know that Den could not have made it as long as he did without your love & support & occasional kick in the butt. You and Den demonstrated unselfish love.

I'll miss his superlatives while wishing me a nice day--I kept trying to top him, and I guess he won!

I'll miss you both lots. Love, Julia

Well sweety, the last couple of days have been horrible but i am still here. I cant tell you enough how much i miss you and love you. Today Apria came and picked up all your oxygen equipment and for some reason that really really got to me. Everything is just soooooooo final now and it hurts so bad when i think about that. My brain hurts also from trying to get all the finances and business stuff taken care of. UGH I know the god lord has wrapped me in his loving arms and is protecting me from some of the pain, for at times i am numb. The mornings are the worst i miss when i get up and you always say good morning. I also miss us holding hands in bed during the night, but will treasure all that very much. Life really doesnt have much joy right now, just loneliness and pain. But yet i keep doing the mundane chores and all. Seems so weird to just keep doing the things that need to get done without you here. I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU so so much. Kiss my Daddy for me ok...

Denny you were a great person and always fun to be around!

Deb hang in there and take care of yourself, god bless

Den, although I wasn't as lucky as some of my other pogo buddies to actually get to meet you, I feel as if I do know a lot about you through your dear wife. I know for a fact you were an outstanding husband to her and you will be greatly missed.

((((Deb)))) I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You have been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I wish we didn't live so far away......

O and Den can I ask you one question? Is there Pogo in heaven??

I know for a fact though you got the greatest JP ever, to be with our heavenly father.

deb i dont know you but i do know jeanne and my heart felt symphathys go out to you and your loved ones..iam so sorry for your great loss..God Bless You and Your family,my prayers are with all of you.
april

Deb,You are in our thoughts and prayers "Ole" will be missed soo much
by us and everyone he had touched
in his life. I will miss his smile and his
stories he would tease mark with.
He was a Sweet and Funny Man.
To know OLE was to Love OLE!!
He will be deeply missed.We Love You!!!

Deb - Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time. Denny had such a fantastic sense of humor and was so willing to help out when needed. I remember the time my car died at the dance studio and Den came to my rescue. We went to the pet store because we had to wait until Lexi was done with dance class and then he drove us home. Denny will be greatly missed by everyone.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. May your faith and the love of those around you bring you comfort and help you through the days ahead.

Rest in peace Denny.

Love,
Jerry & Robin Henrichs

Deb,
I am so sorry for your loss. Denny was a special person in everyone of our lives! he will be greatly missed.

Deb, we are all with you at this hard time. God bless you and Ole.

Deb, My sympathy goes out to you and your family. It's been many years. Trivial pursuit and Red White and Blue will always be a great memory.

Deb, I remember the first time I "met" Denny.....it was over the phone one night when I was with you and you were talking to him. I remarked how deep his voice was....then eventually I met him in person and liked him instantly.

Hugs to you and all his kids and grandkids.

hi hun...... today and tomorrow are going to be soooooo hard. Please be with me in my heart to get through this. I miss you so so much. It's been through the grace of God that i have made it so far and got some things taken care of. I love you and always, always will. You are my heart. Pleaseeeeee baby stay with me and hold me up when i start to fall, you have always been my hero to lean on and now when i need you the most you arent here. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU now and forever

Well hun i made it through another day, just not happily. I wander back and forth through the house totally lost and not knowing what to do anymore. I have been telling you that i would be ok and that i am a big girl. I lied........ i can't do it without you and i want you to come back pleaseeeeeeeee. Not really, i know you cant and are in a much better and happier place. I mean i do want you back but know that you are where the god lord wants you now. I'm going to head to bed in a couple minutes. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO DANG MUCHHHHHHHHHH

Ole~You are soooo missed! I wish I could make you one more chocolate cake. We know you must be free now to enjoy the next step of living with Jesus.
Deb~You are in our thoughts and prayers everyday. You know you can call us anytime if you need anything! Love you Always. Cathy & Bill

Denny- it was great to see you again a couple months ago when we passed through MN. Take good care of yourself up in Heaven...

Deb, things will definately get easier as time goes on (although it may not seem that way now). Remember that Denny is actually still there, just in a different form. Be strong and have faith as you always have done.

Love,

Deb, we were so sorry to hear about Denny. It was just a couple of weeks ago I called you and he answered the phone, said you were out and I thought, maybe he was doing better. I was just shocked when I read your short e-mail. I know you love him very much and you will miss him. You will be in our prayers. I'll call you later.

Love, Linda & John

Deb,

God Bless you! We are thinking of you.

Good Morning sweetheart. I really hate this hun. I don't know what to do with myself. It's just no fun getting up and you arent here. I miss you so dang bad and want you to come back home so much. You are my heart and now part of it is missing and i need you so much. What's it like in heaven hun? I sure hope you are having fun with everyone and ohhhhhhhh it must be so wonderful to see our heavenly father and Jesus. I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU

Den you will always be in my heart.... will think of you every time I make chili.

Deb, I am always here for you, day or night. Thank you so much for sharing your family with us. I will treasure our times with you all forever. My heart is breaking for you, please let us help to carry your burden, and know that you are never truly alone.

Den, even though I never had the pleasure of meeting you in person, I feel like I know you. And this is through your lovely wife Deb. May you rest in peace. Deb, I am only a phone call away if you need anything. Love ya girlfriend. HUGS

Hun you have to know that tonight has been a total craziness. First the TV in the computer room wont come on now and then the stupid dishwasher was leaking all over. Pan got over the water thing to much. UGH Sometimes i think i am losing my mind without you. I sure hope this is normal or something. I'll alone tonight for the first time and i'm having some anxiety but trying to give it to god and you hun. I miss everything about you baby and the selfish part of me wants you back sooooooooooo frigging bad i cant stand it. But i know you are in the most wonderful place of all. For you i am so happy and knowing that you are breathing really well for the first time in many many many years makes me smile. But i cry and cry cause i miss you and want to see you and talk to you so bad. I LOVE you baby and hope you are having fun talking to everyone up in heaven.
I am going to go to bed soon and get some sleep but wanted to say good night and i miss having you next to me and us holding hands in bed. LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUU
