My thoughts and prayers go out to the Dennison Family. I had the pleasure of meetting Jim in March of this year through a paint job he was doing for my job. He made painting look so easy. Watching him gave me an idea to paint a spare room in my home. I had never lifted a paint brush in my life. While on assignment at my job he gave me and my husband many pointers and suggestions always making it sound like "you will be fine". Once he finished at our location he gave us his phone number in case we ran into problems or if worse came to worse and needed him and his guys to come finish the job. He would be so proud of us to know that spare room looks beautiful and my husband and I will think of him whenever we think about how beautiful that room is now. I remember when I first told Jim about my venture he said "don't try to get all fancy your first time, just pick a color. You will be suprise what a fresh coat of paint does to a room" I will always remember those words. He gave us the gift that will just keep on giving. Thanks Jim !

J.D. you were the oldest of all the nephews and nieces. I remember how much you were there for Lil Ernie Richie and Steven when we all lived on Elston.
It was a blessing that Big Ernie's kitchen pipes broke the other night because it gave the boys all a chance to spend some time with you and for you to see Steven's daughter. I'm very happy to have been a part of your life.
Love you Cheryl
Say hello to Jessica and you guys behave up there! We'll see you soon.
