Dear Carla and family,I don't know what to say in such a time of terrible sorrow for you. I only met Dennis once at our Christmas party last April, but I thought he was such a quiet and gentle man. I know all of you will miss him terribly, but know that he is a better place and his journey is done! I will continue to pray my rosaries for all of you.
