  25. Wow, it is now, Today, Wednesday, March 13, 2019 that I am only now, seeing this about Dennis. We really had a great time together. During Candler Elementary, we never took the road but was always going thru the neighbors back yards to get from his house to my house. And did we have fun when we had snow days!! Dennis was always so nice & respectful to my mother up until a few weeks before she passed. She would always ask when was the last time I had seen him & if he was doing ok? Every year, during the Holidays at Christmas, we always ran into each other somewhere. But this past Christmas, something was different, I kept waiting to look up & see him standing there or hear him call my name, but certainly didn’t think about this …………Tomorrow will be different when going to the Post Office, getting some gas or at the red light. Dennis be good, tell everyone ‘Hello’ & I will see you soon. Dennis (Rickman)
