Dear Linda and Marsh Family,

I am a cousin on the Capps side of the family (Deva's daddy Leon and my daddy Victor were brothers) who missed Dennis at the family reunion in Lucama yesterday. My sister Sara kept us informed of his illness and then, sadly, of his death. Frank passed on this information so that I could send you an on-line message. The sudden loss must be overwhelming for you right now, and it saddens all the Capps family! Please know that you and all his family are in my family's prayers. Love and Blessings through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Vicki Capps Powell

Linda, Joe and I just wanted to let you know how sorry we are to hear that Dennis passed away. You must know how much we cared for you both, and Paul. Please stay in touch with us, and let us know how you are doing. My mother cared so much for Dennis. He was special, to her. Please take care of yourself and Paul.

I am shocked to hear this news about Dennis, Linda. My heartfelt sympathy goes to you and your family and I will lift you all up in my prayers . I never had the privilege of meeting Dennis, but since he was married to you, he had to be very special.

An Irish Prayer...
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may God hold you
in the hollow of His Hand.

I hope your memories sustain you and know you have a netowork of friends and family here for you if you need us. May the dear Lord see you through.... Love ya

Linda, My heart goes out to you during this time of personal sorrow. May you receive some comfort knowing that you are not alone in your suffering. God hears your cry and is roused (Psalm 18) "from his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook...He parted the heavens and came down...he mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind...He reached down...and took hold of me." I am praying for the comfort that only God can bring to you and your family during this time of great sorrow.
