Mildred, Nat and Jeff and Family,
Soo sorry about Dennis' passing what a wonderful Man and a great Christian, who Believed and Lived his live with purpose. So many memories, homemade ice cream, your beautiful Christmas tree, crabs in the back yard, the Susquehanna, water skiing, trout fishing, trips to Chincoteaque. If my memories are like this and so small, yours will be infinitesimal. I think Denny's dad and Freddy and Denny are talking about all the fish they caught and are planning a very special trip. God keep you in his Loving Arms
