Both you, Kelly, and Dennis were a very dear party of my years growing up in Cuba City. I will always regards those memories fondly. Dennis may have been Patty and Paula’s ride to school, but you and I had our own adventurous rides to school in the old red SS Nova, didn’t we, Kelly? Wow. Time flies. It’s so hard to believe Dennis is gone. He was such wonderful friend in HS (we even when pool jumping a few times) and he grew into an even better husband and father, I’m sure. A man of strength and integrity. If you recall, it was I who encouraged Dennis to ask you to homecoming so many years ago, Kelly, and I’m so happy you found out each other–your soul mate. I’m so, so sorry you have lost him, honey–especially so young. I can’t imagine what you, your children, and the entire family are enduring. Gale, Marv and Grace were also so pleasant to be around when I was younger, and I even I remember babsitting little sister Melissa a few times. My condolences to all of you. Dennis was like a brother to me and my sisters. A very trustworthy, fun, and NICE brother with a great sense of humor. I’m honored that he touch my life for the brief years he did. As with all of us who loved Dennis, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you cope with his absence in your daily lives. It just breaks my heart. You know his loving spirit will be with you always. Please take care.

I wanted to express my deepest sympathy and concern for you and also share with you the wonderful hope for our dead loved ones. As you grieve Elsie’s death, please reflect on the hope in question, which comes from Our Heavenly Creator, Jehovah God. By means of the Bible, He allows us to understand how He’ll eliminate death for good one day and bring our dead loved ones back to life. This is evident in Scriptures like (Isaiah 25: 8), (John 5: 28), (1 Corinthians 15:26), (Revelation 21:3 and 4), which can comfort you in your sorrow. God’s promises are guaranteed because He cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Moreover John 11 verses 11-14, 39, 43, and 44 attests that Jesus, whom God appoints to bring the dead back to life, did it before when he resurrected Lazarus and several others when he was on earth. As you await Elsie’s resurrection, please heed Jesus’ counsel in John 17 verse 3 and take steps to gain accurate knowledge of Jehovah God and Jesus by carefully studying the Bible with the Witnesses. In John 5 verse 39, Jesus explains that such study is vital for anyone who wishes to have everlasting life one day here on earth, which will become a paradise where you can be re-united with Elsie again in a world free of VIOLENCE, WAR, SICKNESS, OLD AGE, even DEATH etc… (Ps 37: 9-11 and 29), (Psalms 46: 8 and 9), (Isaiah 33:24), (Job: 33:25).

We both have very fond memories of Jim and Betty having coffee, Jim reading the newspapers, out on the screen porch that was at the south end of each of our units. My husband and I grew to be good friends as we saw each other so much, talked a lot, watched each other’s door when each of us was gone. We’ll always remember his warm smile, his love of airplanes, his tanned face and those twinkly eyes. Both of us taught, me in Oconomowoc and Dave in Jefferson at the HS, and they both asked of our activities so often–they truly cared.

I was saddened to learn of Elsie’s death. I know you will all miss her a great deal. It is so hard to lose a loved yet she had such a positive attitude she was a great example of how a person of faith moves to the next place. May you find comfort in knowing she is at rest.

Remembering you all in thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy in the passing of your father. I just happened to notice it when I was checking the Janesville Gazette for news on the Town of Milton, part of my daily duties.

I pray that God gives you the strength to get thru this. Remember that Faith-Family-Friends can get you through anything.

God Bless, Sandy Kunkel

Was sadden to hear the news about Dennis. I remember when I was growing up visiting his grandparent’s George and Olive getting to know my cousin Dennis. Dennis, another cousin Randy and I were in the same age group and we enjoyed doing what kids liked to do on the farm.
