As a fairly new member, like others here, I grew quickly to rely on Dennis to help us with our COPD issues....and as our friend.
You, too, have become our friend and all of us have grown
to love both of you.
The news that so many of us have dreaded to hear about a man who gave so much to so many during his life. And to you, who made his life worthwhile and did all you could to make his final years comfortable.
I can only send many prayers for peace and strength to you and your family.
Love, Cindy

I've also learned so much from you in your Caring Bridge journal entries during this final chapter. Please stay with us and let us know how you are doing, you are a special member of our COPD family and we need you here.
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.
I loved Dennis as a brother, though we never met face to face. My heart breaks because of his passing, yet at the same time, I am happy for Dennis and I rejoice in what you said: "he is shouting VICTORY with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ".
I pray for peace for you and the family! Jim
