Dennis,
At this moment I can't believe you're gone. I can't forget those last moments either. I wish I could. I miss you so much. I can't help but look at these pictures and think that this is all so unfair. For me, for the family, for Jodi, for the kids. They will know how special you were...I just wish they could have had you their whole lives. I have so much sadness in my heart right now. I wish you were here. I wish we could wish you back. I know you are watching us, I wish I could feel you like everyone says I should. I miss you Dennis.
Cassidy loves being Dennis Godchild. They had a special bond and always will. In these pics, Dennis had come home from FL to see his new Goddaughter. He instantly loved her. He always loved babies and of course felt sorry too b/c they were so dependent on others. That's the way Dennis was.
He always made all his nieces and nephews feel so special. He'd take the time to ask them what they were up to and he really listened. The older ones know that they had the greatest uncle and we will always tell the little ones all about Uncle Dennis and how much he loved and cared about them. He is and will be a hero to all these kids.
Colin just wrote about Uncle Dennis at school. It was very hard to read at first but,I was so proud of what he wrote. It is amazing what these kids gave gone through and then can write about it at school, sometimes I forget they are going through this too.Uncle Dennis will always be someone to look up to and be like in their eyes.

Being thoughtful and caring is how he was. When ever I saw him He always asked me about my girls and then when they had kids he asked about them too! He used to tease me about being a grandmother about being old but then he would always ask me if I was ok, how things were going. He truly cared about his family. Dennis I miss you and love you, Auntie Paula
