Minza we are so very sorry about Dennis. He was such a kind and generous man. Our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Sadly to say that I never had the privilege of meeting one of my son's most amazing friend. When he called to tell me of this yesterday morning, I could hear the sadness and heartache in his voice. He had nothing but great things to say of Dennis. He did such an incredible kind thing for us last year by flying us to his awards show in GA. I never got to personally thank him for his kindness so now would like to thank his family. My deepest sympathy to all his family and friends. I will forever be grateful to this amazing man. Hugs, love, thoughts and prayers.♡
I am so saddened by this news. Peace and comfort to all his family and friends during this heartbreaking time.
God bless your family in your time of sorrow.
I knew Dennis in elementary school through high school. He had a great sense of humor and was a very kind friend. I'm so sorry for your terrible loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
