We will miss you, Denny, and are comforted knowing you are in the presence of Jesus, and will see you again.
I am deeply sorry for your profound loss , prayers for your family
Cousin Denny was 15 month my senior and I really looked up to him. As kids I acquired a hunger for sports largely due to his influence.
He was a gifted athlete in his youth. I will be anxious to see him once again I’m a healthy, resurrected body at Christ’s Coming.
Dear Jean & family
Sending prayers for your comfort. I know it’s been a long, difficult road for the last several years. Dennis & Henry & I had many fun times together when we were young. I won’t be able to attend the service but will hold you in my thoughts
Sharpo,
We’ll all get together on the other side some day.
See you then.
