Donna, 
Sierra and I wanted to send our deepest condolences. We only knew Denny for a short while. However, we immediately recognized how special a person he was! His warm smile and pleasant demeanor would light up the room (or Zoom room). We want to send our hugs and comfort to you and the entire family. Psalm 34:18 and Revelation 21:3-4 are two scriptural passages that come to my mind to provide comfort. 
 
Love Thomas and Sierra Roberts

So very sorry for your loss Donna! My heart breaks for you. Denny was an awesome guy! He was one of my best friends from my teenage yrs, especially when we lived in Q-ville. Gary said when he thought of Denny the 1st word that came to mind was “generous”. He was one of the most generous people, he’d do anything for anyone. I feel blessed to have called him my friend. Donna, know that I am here for you if you need anything…even if you just want someone to cry with! So glad you two stopped by over the summer & we got to have a really nice visit.  I’m really gonna miss you Denny! Love Yas!
