This blog has been established for those of you who love and care about my brother, Dennis M. Rich. Dennis battled sarcoma for over two years. His strength and courage is truly inspiring. This is a piece of his story.
The second picture of me and Dennis was our first May Ball Dance. He was my first date. When we got to the dance, he didn't even leave my side to go see his friends. That's what Dennis was all about even years later, when I would run into him on a weekend night out with friends, he would always come over, sit down and make sure I had a ride home and if I needed anything. He was a great friend and cousin. I cherish the moments we shared together growing up. Happy Birthday Dennis - miss ya! Cousin Jill
I remember these pictures like it happened yesterday, the vacation to California and our visits to Disneyland and Knottsberry Farm. The look of terror on the faces of the waiters at the hotel and restaurants when they would ask how many and we would say "Table for Thirteen Please". I remember Dennis and Jimmy being more enthused about swimming in the pool at the hotel more than going on the rides Disneyland. They were wonderful days and times for all of us to remember and cherish. Aunt Theresa
This trip was the first time I realized how special my family, and my cousin Dennis in particular really are. I loved telling everyone that I was Dennis' cousin. I always tried to be next to him in the pictures. He always had a way of making you feel you were special. I hope our kids can be as close as we all were growing up. It was nice seeing the girls today and I hope that my family and I have the chance to tell the girls all the stories we have about growing up with Dennis and all his siblings.
Happy Birthday We love you and miss you terribly. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers.

Jill is in the process of doing a fundraiser for The Sarcoma Foundation. I know Dennis would be so happy. Thanks Jill!
Thank you for posting our childhood pictures of the Pizzicone-Rich Tribe. Those were unforgettable times and ones that always keep me smiling.
