Dear Cheryl & family,
I'm not sure if you'll remember, but my sister-in-law Leah Anderson use to run a daycare out of her home. Leah watched your beautiful kids for a time. I used to help her out, I just adored your kids, we both did.
Leah & I are so very sorry for your loss. Dennis was always such a bright & sweet little boy, I'm sure he grew into a fine man.
May God bless your family and give you strength in your time of need.
Warmest Regards,
Sandy Anderson Heuring & Leah Anderson Weibe

I was so touched by The Register's feature article on Dennis and Matches -- and I am so very sorry for the tragic loss of this good and compassionate young man and his beautiful horse. It is inexplicable.
By sharing his story, you've continued to let Dennis touch the lives of others in a deep way, even those like me who never met him. With prayers to all of your family.

We were so sorry to hear about Dennis. Lora and I will always remember the time that he spent in Orlando with us. That was a special time in getting to
know the Kaiser-Coe family. Dennis was such a fun kid. He gave us a new insight to the phrase "good kid".
Know that we shall keep you and him in our thoughts and I will keep all of you in my prayers. If you folks need anything you know how to get in touch with us.

My condolences in the loss of your son, Dennis. He sounded like an amazing young man. I wanted to tell you how touched I was that Dennis was an organ donor. My husband is alive today because of the gift of life he received last year. Thank you to Dennis and your family for the decision you made at a very difficult time.

I am Jared Miller's aunt. I have never met your family but we are praying for you. May God give you peace and comfort and hope that you will someday be united with your son again. We are praying for Katie and Jared as they officiate over the services. May God's comforting words be spoken through them. Your son must have been a very caring person to think of others in the time of death, that he was willing to give life to others.
Blessings,

Please accept my condolences. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I talked to him early in the summer and was glad to see that he was doing well. He was happy and optimistic about the future. It is a terrible loss. I will remember him and his family in my prayers.
