Dear Stef and all the family

Sorry I cannot make the service for Dennis. Know that my love and sympathies are with you.

Dennis was a lover of life and not afraid to be who he was and dance to his own song.

He has left a beautiful legacy in his wonderful grandchildren and lovely caring daughter.

I shall miss his smile and his jokes.

May he be laughing with the angels and may those that left before him be greeting him..

Gods Blessings to you all.
