Death notice for the town of: Marion, state: Ohio
I am very sorry to hear of Dennis passing away. Tomorrow comes for all of us. Im sure he is in a better place now.
I can’t believe 3 years has passed since the good Lord called you home. Even though we may not have seen each other much after mom left and went home. I knew I could pickup the phone and you’d be there. Oh how I miss those phone calls. What I wouldn’t do to hear your voice one more time. I love you Dennis
(boy #1.. our little secret). I miss you but I envy you too. Being with mom, Gary, Dusti, Cory, dad and Bill in the most beautiful, carefree, and roads of gold where the sun does nothing but shine and shine brightly. Take care of mom until I get there. Love and missing u like crazy
