Celebration of Dennis' Life Gathering is planned for August 1st

I want to remember Dennis and all that was important to him. If you would like to write a memory or story or send a photo to help me put together a sequence of who he was, to those he touched, please send them to me at dkb1@cox.net.
We are planning a get-together on Saturday, August 1, 2009 at our home with any family and friends who are able to join us. Let me know if you will be coming.

The end of the DKB Adventures in the RV

February 11, 2009 Dennis left this world to start his heavenly adventures, so this is the end of our journey around the United States in the RV.
We had a wonderful journey with many enjoyable adventures seeing people and places around the states. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. It was a trip of a lifetime for us both. May you also have many exciting adventures to share with us dear friends and relatives.
The End of our DKB Adventures.

Held up in Tallahassee, Florida

We are still in Tallahassee, Florida with Derek, Roby and family. Dennis has had some serious medical problems and is currently in the hospital. We're hoping to stablize him so we can bring him back home soon. Julie, Tony, Jeanne and Gary (sisters and brothers-in-law) are here with us and are helping in many ways. Jeanne and Gary flew in from Portland, OR to help us drive the motorhome back to California. Julie and Tony came up from Fort Myers Beach to give us support and to visit us here since we didn't make it down there. Please keep Dennis in your prayers. We feel so blessed to be here with family to help us deal with these problems.
