Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Scott and Denise, I am sorry to hear about John Dennis.I want to know my thoughts and prayers are with you.I remember all the great times we had, at Pamlico and all the other fishing trips.Riding around Rocky Mount, in the back of his truck in the snow.Again I’m very sorry for your loss.
Dear Denise I know that you were saddened by the death of your father. He will be greatly missed by you and his many friends. Though sympathy is small consolation, even when it comes from the hearts of those who share your sorrow. I want you to know how keenly your loss is felt by me and others who knew him. It was my privilege to know John personally. I had a great deal of respect for him and greatly appreciated his friendship. Although there is little that I can do or say to help you in this time of grief, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Fred Turnage
Scott & Denise, I’m sure that your Mom is rejoicing that Dennis has joined her and the two can praise the Lord together for His grace and goodness to them. You have much to be thankful for – a Dad who was faithful, honest, and loved his family. Please know that our prayers are with you at this time
