THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your wife Beverly is touching and reflects the anguish experienced by so many who lost loved ones in this war. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

Without people like you our great nation would not exist. Rest in peace LT. Dennis, I salute you brave soul, and the crew of PBR-750. My heart goes out to you and your family. From a Coast Guard vet.

I remember how much fun you and daddy were when y’all were together. I laughed a lot and have enjoyed the memories all through the years. He left us 10 years after you and I still miss him. I also remember the afternoon that the phone call came about you and how heartbroken mother was. I’ve always liked that my middle name is Earl. I have a Junior and we call him Earl. Wish you could have been here through the years.

We had posted a calendar on the refrigerator and had started marking off the days until you would return to us in less than a month. Gary was 2, Mike was 4 and Shari was 6. We were so sad and missed you so much. I think now of Shari and Mike being with you in heaven and am thrilled that you will get to know them as adults. Our 3 children gave me 16 wonderful grandchildren and I wish you were able to be here for their births and to cuddle them and love them. I know that we will all be together again in the not too distant future. I love you with all my heart and I'm so glad that you are honored on the wall. See you soon, my love.

PS I hope your photo is put here because this is a wall of faces and yours is missing.
