Attachment
Dennis and Vikki have always been the kind of neighbors that come along once in a lifetime. Always ready for a spontaneous cookout or just a drink or 2. I will never watch a Brewer game and not think of you with a smile on our faces. Dennis, we will miss you and will take care of and help Vikki when possible. You leave a huge void in our lives. Go with God.
Dennis, I sure am going to miss giving your heck about drinking that last can of Pabst I’ve been storing in my fridge for years. Then there’s that whole thing about Jody’s poinsettia plant. I bet you were surprised to see both of those things waiting for you at the pearly gates!! You brought lots of laughther to my life (and Jeff’s too). Now you will join all the rest your family and the Edgar’s in your new home. I can just imagine the shenanigans!! Don’t worry, I will be there for Vikki and am sure we will have shenanigans of our own. Gid bless you today and always.
Dennis, thank you for being an awesome neighbor to my grandparents and parents. Helping grandma up to the end, always lending a hand, being kind and gracious. I still remember you playing catch or shooting hoops with us kids. Your laughter will sure be missed! You will always be in our memories and I’ll miss seeing you at the bank. God bless you!
We are truly thankful and grateful to have had a cousin like Dennis. We remember the laughter and happiness he brought into our lives. Dennis always put others first, going above and beyond to take care of everyone in his family.
Uncle Dennis was a great uncle and my birthday buddy. I will never forget his sense of humor. At all of our family get togethers, he would always get me laughing so hard especially when Vikki chimed in. They would have the whole family laughing. I am thankful for the time we got to spend together especially over the past few years and that my daughters were able to get know Uncle Dennis. Uncle Dennis and Aunt Vikki were truly one of the greatest couples I know and a comedic duo. One of the hardest things about life is death and my heart goes out to Aunt Vikki during this difficult time.
Aunt Vikki you and Keith have my deepest sympathy you both are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs to both of you.
Vikki, It has been a long time since I have seen you od Dennis. I will always remembe the good times we had working together out of the union haa for Price Erecting. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss of Dennis. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and help you during this tough time. Jim Dwyer
