Dear Sharon and family, Lifting you up in prayer at this most difficult time. May the God of all comfort, give you his peace and surround you with his Love. Knowing that Dennis is with the Lord, no more pain, no more sorrow. Love ♥️ Bill & Nancy
To Sharon and family, a year and a half ago, Dennis asked for my phone number at the center we go to. Little did I know we would have two of best friends we’ve had in many years. I’m going to miss our rides to the city, listening to Dennis’ stories, and the wonderful heart of gold you both have. Dennis is now free of pain and I’m sure God will have his hands full. Our friendship will always be in our hearts. You both are and always will be part of our family. Please know that our hearts ache for you and your family during this unimaginable time of grief. Our prayers hope to give you strength. Love, Kim and Rick Jakubowski
Julie and I are sorry for your loss. We knew Dennis from our Hawaii tour and many dinners. We had the most fun during our dinners laughing, poking fun and enjoying good company. “Some moron blowing on a conch shell!”. We love you Sharon.
My old friend and amazing mentor. This hits hard even though we have not seen each other for some time. So much learned and amazing memories. County Fairs and The falisy of reasoning. You will be missed and thought of often. Until we meet on the other side. I'll miss you old friend.
Sharon and family, So sorry for your loss. You will find comfort in knowing that he is at peace. I will always remember Dennis for his witty answers to Robin at the store, but even more when I asked him what are you and the boys going to do. Oh yes to the top of the hill or down to the river. (We knew what that meant.) You will have many great memories of the short and long trips but all the small everyday things. A song, the twinkle in his eye, or just sitting across from him for a bite to eat. Hugs and Love to You!
