Dennis, I cannot imagine that you are gone. My life as I knew it will never be the same. The last time I saw you was back in February 2014, in Takoma Park, MD, where our brother David had once resided. You were the epitome of the "perfect" son and brother. The legacy you have left will be carried through by me and your nieces Indira and Christina Dyal. I LOVE YOU BROTHER DENNIS!
Let me share my story of these two special people in my life. My Aunt Katie lived with her older brother and family, Paul Smith when she first came to the Washington, D.C. area. I was only 5 years old. It was like having a big sister. She was the most giving and fun loving person. I spent so much time with her during my formative years. She shared so much wisdom and was a great role model to me. So, my memories of her from then to when she met Denny illuminates vividly in my mind. She absolutely adored and loved Uncle Denny so, so much! I would be remiss to not share this part of Uncle Denny’s life. I know how much love their marriage represented over many years spent together. I remembered when my Auntie introduced Denny to her older brother, Paul Smith. My dad immediately bonded with Denny and was very happy for his sister to meet such a gentle giant! There public display of love was obvious every time we were around them.
She personally would share stories with me in my high school /college years when I called her over the phone about being in love with the best God sent man. This description depicted Uncle Denny very well. It was evident of the many sacrifices they both endured during there marriage as they grew stronger as a couple. Unfortunately, my aunt departed life prior to my uncle, but one thing that resonates in my memory about both of them is how much they loved one another and the genuine display of kindness always showned to others.
We will truly miss you Uncle Denny, but thank God for the fond memories that I will cherish forever of the both of you.
Sincerely,
Neice, Paula
