Well done, my good and faithful servant.

Patrick Henry Dennis
March 21, 1921- November 14, 2008

Nothing describes my Grandpa better than a good and faithful servant. We are all tearfully planning his funeral, wondering what words we can say to honor him, wondering how we will ever make it through a service without crying. But I realized here is a man who needs nothing said about him (although we'll have plenty to say). Anyone who knew him, KNEW him and was KNOWN by him. Grandpa connected with others, respected them immensely and found value in each person.

Heaven's gain.

He sounds like an amazing man and I'm sure the weight of his loss is heavy.

What an awesome thing though to have such a significant life to commemorate!
