    Renee, I am so sorry for your loss. I really hate those words, but there are no words to describe the pain of grief. Asking God to hold you. Love you, old friend, and remembering the good days when you were an encourager to me as a new employee in a hard place to work. I will continue praying for you in days to come. -Judy Amos

    Renee, so sorry to hear about Dennis. I was praying for healing, he got the ultimate healing. He is now in the arms of Jesus. I am sure he is sharing some jokes with loved ones that went before him.
    Love you,
    Mary Sue and John DeVorss
