Candy, I wish there was something, anything, we could do to ease your pain, your sadness. But we know that all we can do is pray for God to give you His peace, His comfort, His love. May He grace you with beautiful memories that will never fade away, until the day you once again share them with Dennis in God's paradise. Try to picture Dennis being re-united with your Mom and Dad. Isn't it nice to know that their tears are tears of joy! May your tears soon disappear and peace and joy return to your heart. Please let us know if you need anything. We would love to be able to help in any way at all. We care so much about you Candy - please know you are in our prayers. With Love, Bob and Nancie.
