Sean, Erin and Family,
I received a reminder that today is Dennis Scully´s birthday. Knowing what a close family you are, I suspect this will be a day of memories. I hope there will be stories that bring a smile, some laughter along with a gentle tear.

It is hard not seeing Denny every day and stopping in & talking about construction & of course how many of the younger generation do not have the work ethics. lol.
Denny became a good friend and, Michelle, Dan, Vikki & Denny became family to me.
I am sending Positive healing Energy to you all & will miss seeing you all.
