We were sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. Whenever we saw Dennis in Walmart he would always give us a hug and we would have a nice visit. I graduated from high school with Dennis and always thought he was one of the nice guys.
Heather, Cheryl and I are so sorry to hear about your Dad. We are out of town tomorrow, but our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Michael and Cheryl Harmon
Dear Heather. What a sad report about the passing of your dad. Praying for the comfort of the Lord to encompass you and your brothers.
Heather, So very sorry to hear your dad passed. I always enjoyed visiting with him when he stopped by to entertain. Whenever I ran into him, he always remembered me and we’d have a chat to catch up. God bless you and your family in the days and weeks ahead as you mourn his loss.
Heather – I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Hugs to you and your family.
Thank you so much!
He was always a great neighbor and a joy to talk to when he would stop on his walks. We still cherish the letter he had Hoover “write” to Shania when she crossed the rainbow bridge. Always had kind words and a smile. RIP
Thank you so much!
