From: Sabrina Charity
Relation: Cousin
Thoughts of Dennis rambled through my mind these past days as we all sought to comprehend his leaving us, in what seems to me to be too soon. It’s never long enough, right? While I know he was very special and important in our large Wanchuk family, he was beyond special to my mom, a treasured Godson whom I know she adored. Something she never took for granted, always looking out for him and taking an interest in him, in his life and in him as a person. Lenny, you are in my thoughts now too as you endure these new days of loss. I am hopeful that you will draw upon the love of your children and their families to help you whenever you need it. I have a big hug waiting for you the next time I see you. I will miss my annual Christmas call from my cousin Dennis, especially this Christmas and for all Christmases to come. May he rest in the arms of our Lord and all who went before him. Love you all.
