Dennis your brothers and sisters got together tonight to view family pictures and to share numerous stories about your life. Many of these stories had been heard before, however tonight as each story was told we all listened carefully like it was the first time it was told. These are the memories that will hold your family together. I hope you rest in the sweetest of peace and I know that you will watch over all who love you. Last week when you told me after 30 years I was officially your sister, you touched my heart. Know that you are my brother and your memory will be etched in my heart forever. All my love - D

I am who I am because of him
He gave me my courage & my strength
To stand tall even when standing wasn’t easy Stand for the ones who can’t
To think and fend for myself
I’m my Daddy made over
Taught me to fight back
To never back down
How to pick myself back up
When I’ve been knocked down
Fight for what I believe
I’m my Daddy made over
He gave me my stubbornness
Gave me my pride
Gave me my temper
Taught me not to take crap
To speak my mind no matter what
Work for what I want
I’m my Daddy made over
How to keep my emotions in check
How to handle large amounts of pain
When in trouble he always had my back
He knew how my mind worked better than anyone... I got it from him
I’m my Daddy made over
Even though he’s gone I’ll stand and continue on I may stumble
I may fall
May even get hurt along the way
But I’ll pick myself back up
I’ll dust myself off and stand tall
I’m honored and proud to say ...
I AM my Daddy made over

R.I.P daddy bear... I'll always continue to be your baby bear... mom and the boys will be in good hands.... I will make sure of it

A poem For you Jacqueline Rose...

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I love you, and I'm so sorry. Words can not express how deeply saddened I am that you and your brothers have to go through this so young. Just know, that he is always watching over you, and you can talk to him anytime. Even if he can't answer you...he is listening.

God Saw You Getting Tired
   ~ unknown author~

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be;
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watch you
And saw you pass away;
And although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
Your golden heart
has stopped beating
And your hard working hands
are now at rest.
God broke our hearts
to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Love you always Dennis my baby brother

My sincere condolences to all Dennis' family. He and I went way back. Together we created a beautiful daughter who my heart is breaking for. I know he loved and was very proud of. She will forever miss you Dennis. She will forever love you and will forever be proud to have been your daughter. 

My thoughts and prayers to Sue, your boys, and all your siblings.
