For Dennis,
You came into my life over 50 years ago,
A new big older brother I soon would get to know.
A very special person with a kind and caring heart,
You made me feel so welcome right from the very start.
We laughed and smiled together, through those early years,
When life became a challenge you helped me through my tears.
If I needed help or wisdom I knew you were always there,
To advise with words of comfort to show how much you cared.
And now my heart is broken, the loss of a precious soul,
You surely will be missed, more than you’ll ever know.
Yes Heaven got an angel and Dennis is his name,
You are in our hearts forever, life will never be the same.
So farewell brother of my heart, rest well and feel no pain,
I know some day our paths will cross and we will laugh again.
Much love, your Aussie sister, June xxx
When I think of Dennis so many memories come to mind it is hard to know what to share but one special one has always had a place in my heart.
When I came from Australia as a new bride I was extremely anxious to meet my in-laws.
Our plane was a day late and it was an extremely hot day when we landed in Sioux Falls, Back in the day when you could walk out to meet the plane, there they were running towards us. Denny had a big smile on his face and handed me a bouquet of flowers wrapped in tissue paper, when I opened them the delay and heat had taken their toll. I can still hear his laugh as he handed me my "very wilted" bouquet. I still smile, "Welcome to America"
My heart is with you all at this sad time. I will be thinking of you.
June
