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.

Dennis~none of us will EVER let you down. Our kids will remain close always and forever. Alana, Elise and Mia (& Jodi) will always be Rich girls and very proud Rich girls too! I love you girls! I love you Jodi!
That was one of Dennis' fear that Alana, Elise, & Mia might be left out. He certainly has to be smiling because that certainly is not happening. Kelli, thank you for being there for the girls and me and really taking the time. We all love you very much. I appreciate you and all Alana, Elise, & Mia's Auntie's and Uncle Jimmy, too. There is so much support and love for the girls on each sides of my families. Thank you Mom and Jane for continuing to be there for me and the girls and putting up with my emotional up's and down's through my journey through my stages of grief. Now I know why Dennis took family so serious. No matter what you go through in your life you can always count on family to be there. You all certainly proved that to Dennis ecspically when he needed all of you and now for the girls and me. All of us are feeling the pain of the biggest loss of our lives. It's so nice to at least have each other to lean on. If there is any thing at this difficult time to be thankful for it's definetly family. I'm so glad my girls have alot of cousins. I love you all and miss and love you so much Dennis. Jodi oxox
