Just as Deb said I think of you often. Hannah and I talk about you alot. The other day I was trying to tell her about how an elephant sounded and i remembered that you did the best elephant noise and how you acted it out with your arm. Oh how we all wish that we could have you back, but without the pain and suffering. To have that laughter that we all shared when you would make jokes about the family. We all really miss you and wish you where here. But, I know that now you have no pain anymore and somehow that comforts me. We love you and miss you very much. amelia, hannah and Mom

I was thinking of you my brother, David today as I guess I will the rest of my life. I had the nicest thought of how everytime The Wizard of Oz or To Sir With Love was on TV he would call to tell me because we used to watch Wizard of Oz every year when we were kids and because I drove him crazy playing To Sir with Love over and over and over and trust me I can not sing. The memory made me laugh . I miss you David you could always make me laugh. An old Eskimo legend says that there aren't really stars in the sky that they are our loved ones shining down on us. Hope your watching. Love you Deb

To The Dennis Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I was very upset when I heard the news. David and I were only 2 days apart in age and always were friends growing up. I always think about your family and wonder how you all are. My prayers are with you and my heart is breaking too!

May God be with you through this time of sorrow and I send my Love and my hugs. Your neighbor while growing up.

Dear Family,

My words cannot express the feelings I have for you all.

David was always a friend of ours and we miss him.

1John 5:14-15 says

And this is the confidence that we have in Him,that,if we ask anything according to His will,He heareth us;and if we know that He hear us,whatsoever we ask,we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.

With Love
