Our sincere condolences to everyone that was a part of Dennis’s life. May all your good memories outweigh your sadness during this difficult time. This Bible verse recorded in Revelation 21:4 has been of comfort to our family when experiencing a difficult time. It reads “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away “. It’s our sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family as well. May God Jehovah give strength and his love to each of you.
