Yvonne,The services were so beautiful. He is a wonderful person. So very happy that he & you stopped by on your way south the last few years. I got to know more about Lee the last two weeks & so glad Jerry decided to come up & see he,even though it was in the hospital. It's sad that families don't get to-gether very much any more. You and the boys & their family are welcome any time. Hope to see you soon. And like Jerry said you a still our sister. Love you all, Gladys

While we all know that Denny's Dad is no longer in pain and suffering anymore and is at peace now, it is never easy or expected to lose a loved one, ever. I know that Dennis' Dad is flying free now and will always be watching over Dennis and Debbie and he will live on through them and their memories. He was loved by my good friends and I wish to extend my most sincere sympathy for their loss at this time.
