My sincere condolences to all the family and friends of my distant cousin. John T. Dennis

Johnny knew our Lord and I know he is with Him and is finally at peace. He will always be a part of my heart. As we spoke a few days ago he was happy. He had a direction and a good person at his side to walk with him in that direction. I was happy for him and he stated how happy he was for me. Seasons, reasons and lifetimes are what people come into our lives for. If Johnny came into your life it was for a reason and he was physically there for a season but in our heart he lasted a lifetime. My condolences to all of us who will miss "waiting" for him, his call or his "hi,I'm home.
