Please know you have my sympathy. I'm there for all of you in spirit today even though I can't be there to support you. I loved Dennis and will miss him very much. He was always very nice to me and made me feel important. It was a great joy to me to know he had accepted Christ! I know he's in heaven watching over all of you and smiling. I love you Dennis. I love you my family.

Jeane and family,
I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I was just the other day looking at photos of when the Lt. Governor came to Cambridge and we took a hay rack ride thru town. He talked to her about the horses and was just so happy to be sharing his love of them with her. It was fun to watch.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. He was a very nice man. You have my sympathy

Our deepest sympathy to all of you with the loss of your husband, father, and grandpa. Jason as a lot of great memories working with Denny at CSI. But, wow the nightly visits at the fence as Sami always had to take carrots to the Downing horses in her toddler years....Denny would smile ear to ear with her squeals as she would approach the fence ready to feed his giant babies! Denny always took the time for a visit at the fence. ...even when he was ready to call it a day! Zane and Christa - A lot of great memories will be remembered and shared over the next few weeks by all your family and friends- keep those close at heart to share with your girls now and as they grow.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I shall never forget all the rides at Christmas on the Square and the Methodist Fall Review Dennis would give us. His cheerful smile and warm hearted greetings. May all your great memories help in time to ease your loss and God's blessing be with you.
Sincerely
Cat White
