Happy New Year! It really was a great life that you had together and it is too bad that last year had to be bring the end of a great man. I hope and pray that you can find happiness in your memories because you have so many to hold on too. May they comfort you like a warm hug from above.After the heart break of last year I can only pray that 2008 will bring you peace within your heart and the courage and strength that you need to move on, it seems like there is no place to go but up! please stay strong and know that you are loved. Love and miss you Dennis, Auntie Paula
I want to thank you Auntie Paula for your words of support. They always touch me so much. Dennis was always about new challenge's and new beginnings and giving people second chances. As much as Dennis and me had in common. He would always say your resistent to change. He was right I could do the same thing 365 days of the year. Now I find myself in a situation of starting a new year and everything has changed and as much as everyone around me has been extremely helpful and supportive. I also don't expect people to truly understand because if you have not personally gone through something like this how would you nor would I wish this on my worst enemy.I guess the point being is for someone like me that hates change and starting a new year without Dennis in it is incredibly scary. I keep asking myself why the man that gave everyone second chances couldn't get one himself. I have a feeling I'm never going to get an answer for that one. On more of a positve note I will go on this year for the girls just as Dennis would want. Sorry for the long post. I have so many thoughts lately. Thanks again Auntie Paula. Dennis I miss and love you so much, Jodi oxox

Dennis' friends were so important to him.
He loved people. He loved being social. He was surrounded by a wonderful, fun group of friends at all times.
