To Darlene and Family,
We are so sorry for your family's loss. We would like to offer
our condolences at this time of sorrow. We'll keep you in our
thoughts and prayers.
May God Bless You and Your Family,
From: John, Nancy and Debbie Decker
Dear Darlene and Family:
Karen and I want to express our sincere condolences to you on
Dennis's passing. While we were not the closest of
acquaintances over the longest period of time, Dennis stands out
to us as the quiet gentleman who cared deeply for his family and
the time they spent together....a trait that others would do
well to emulate. Regretfully, we will be out of state on a
short vacation when the services for Dennis are held, but both
of us wish all of you peace, strength and many warm remembrances
of your times together. Our thoughts are with you.
Bob and Karen Ramsay
May you find peace in knowing Dennis is in
God's tender care free of pain and suffering and you can go on
knowing there was nothing left unsaid. There will be difficult
days ahead but in time they will be overshadowed by the memories
of many happy days you all spent together. You are in my
thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.
Chris Fortier
Dear Darlene,
We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your
family.

Dear Darlene, Andy, Ashley & Allison -
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We were so very sad to
hear of the passing of Dennis - husband and father. We know how
difficult that this time must be ...
Darlene, I remember one time when Dennis came to my rescue when
one of our listings' basements was flooded, and without power,
and the sump pump was off. I called him because you were at a
Janus meeting. :-) He came right over and brought a generator.
He was always right there for you. He was so proud of you and
your business. Quietly, he would brag about you. I'm just so
glad that I had the opportunity to be a part of your 'family'.
May God bless you and the kids.
Darlene,Andy,Allison,and Ashley
Our deepest sympathies on the passing of Dennis. We have so many
fond memories of Dennis and he will be missed. I smile every
time I remember our days on the golf course including the time
we almost won the member/member, when he lost his driver head on
the frozen pond on 17, the pool, the Pig Roasts, and his love
for 'Old Time Rock and Roll'. He was a good man with a heart of
gold.
Our sympathies and prayers are with you,
Jere, Kim, Matt and Tyler
Darlene, Andrew, Allison, Ashley: Sorry for
your loss. He toughed this out a long time. It's difficult from
a patients, view knowing what lays ahead. I sometimes think
there's better ways to go. With brain cancer. I had to become a
lab rat to find a cure if not for me but for future generations.
We'll keep your family in our thoughts and prayers
Paul and Mary Dalmas
We would like to extend our thoughts, prayers
and friendship to your family during this time of loss, and
always. We sincerely hope that you are blessed with memories of
Dennis and your time together as a family.
God Bless,
Brian and Katie Leatherman
Dear Darlene, Andy, Ashley and Allison,
Sandy and I would like to express our deepest sympathies and
condolences during this difficult time. We would also like to
state that we had every intention of attending the memorial
service on Sunday, March 8. Unfortunately, Sandy's very close
Aunt joined Dennis in her release from pain and suffering on the
exact same day. We were in Scranton for her service on Sunday
afternoon and did not return until late Sunday evening.
Rest assured, we both prayed for Dennis during our time in
Church and will continue to keep him in our prayers.
Andy, you were always a special friend of Dave's-and still are.
Throughout your years of friendship, I watched both of you
develop into hard working, intelligent, driven young men. I
have no doubt that you will continue to be a source of pride and
inspiration to your Mom and Sisters as life continues to move
forward.
I'd like to conclude with a special prayer that I have been
diligently reciting during some of the trying times of my past 7
years. I will commit to add your family to my "distribution" of
those special people that I think about almost daily-upon
reciting it.
May God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot
change,
The courage to change the things you can,
And the wisdom to know the difference...
With Our Sincerest Sympathy,
Sandy and Dave Janesky
