Dennis, I hope you are having a heavenly birthday. I am still missing you, You were more than a brother to me, you were my friend who never knew how much you meant to me. I loved you and always will.

love ya and miss ya, thinking of you kind'a hurts,

Today is your birthday and I wish I could call you and wish you a happy birthday, and tell you that I love you. If wishes came true you would still be here . If wishes came true...I know you're with Dad, mom and Diane and you're not hurting anymore...but if wishes came true you'd be here without the pain and breathing easy, and you'd be riding your bike and enjoying life, and those who are lucky enough to know you would be happier, If wishes came true...

I thought as long as I did not go to your house, I could make believe you are still there. Your beautiful wife and two of your loving daughters came here yesterday {as you prob. already know} and it makes it hard to pretend you are still at home. I know you are with them, watching over those you loved so much, I know you are no longer in pain but it hurts not to see you ,to hear your voice clearly. I know the love you gave ,and just the words you spoke, the way your children are ,the good things they do, their good qualities are YOU. Even thought you will never be solid enough for us to hug, I know you are here, forever loved forever missed

Here's to you Daddy,
Cheers to the man that gave me life. Because of you, I have been blessed with a pack of siblings to lean on throughout life, a family that remains strong because of all that you taught and shared with us. And I believe that the world is a better place because of your contributions. You spent each day off your life sharing your knowledge with those around you, and to extended friends and family through social media later in life. You taught countless people how to solve their car problems. And the jobs of employment you chose throughout life were in some way serving of others. You will be forever remembered for your selflessness and caring words of encouragement to so many, and your willingness to take time to talk with and listen to others. I feel blessed to be a daughter of yours, I know that I am an extension of you and that you have given me the tools that I need to live and love as strong as you, and I promise I will.
I love you Daddy.

You were so special to so many. To me, you are not just just my brother I was stuck with growing up with, but one I would have chosen to grow up with, my friend, my protector, some one whom for over 60 years, we never argued or fought like other brother and sister's ,we shared so much together growing up, and in my heart I know you will always be near. I know God has blessed your soul and you see Dad now and know he still loves you too. I wish I knew that day that you were trying to tell me it was o.k. now, that you were o.k. ,I did not know then that it was you, but I do now. I will always love you too, and thank you for loving me. I would say GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL, but I KNOW he has.
