    Dennis and Family,
    So sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a great guy. He always had a smile on his face, a joke on his lips, and always ready to tease the tar out of me! I will always remember him coming in to pay a bill and giving me a hard time. Of course I always gave it back to him! Love and prayers to the family. I know you will miss him but what great memories you will have.

    Dennis, My and Mary Ann’s prayers are many for you and your family during this time. – So fix your eyes not on
    what is seen, but what is unseen, since what is seen is
    temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
    2 Corinthians 4:18
