Merry Christmas
Four years ago on this date Dennis and I flew home from Washington, D.C. with the belief that Dr. Sugarbaker was correct in that Dennis' cancer was gone. It was a happy time and the people at American Airlines were most accommodating when they heard about why we had delayed our return home several times until he was released from the hospital. The cancer was gone. So we thought. I believed in miracles. I did up to the very second Dennis took his last breath. I know he is in Heaven - with Jesus - on His birthday. What a wonderful thought. But I miss him. Every Christmas he was home. Every Christmas. I am so thankful that Dennis was in our lives. I know you all miss him. I pray you all have a wonderful Christmas. God Bless us - everyone.

thank you so much for that note
i miss him so very much
Dennis did always look forward to coming home, especially for Christmas. I think home for him was his refuge, his place to feel safe, his place to forget about cancer, his place to reconnect with old friends, and bask in the laughter of his nephews. But most of all, home was where he could be with his family and those who loved him.
Merry Christmas to you and all of the Rich family. You are all in my prayers especially this holiday season.
I am reading all of this for the first time. I would like very much to hear from the Rich family. Love David Harris
