Dennis, there is no way

to lessen the sorrow

of losing your father.

But please remember

that others care very much

and wish you strength

and comfort

at this sad time.

Walt~

You came into my life when I was a child of 17, now at age 38, I say "goodbye." Through the years you have become an important "member" of our family. Thank you for all the years that you took care of Mommy and the life that you shared with her. I feel that I am loosing a father again. I know that you are now free of pain, and with those who left this world too soon before you. You are a gentle, giving man. You are deeply appreciated and will be missed greatly. I thank the Lord for bringing you into our lives.

With Great Love,

Sheila Malik, Art and Rhianna Holmes
