Dear Grainger Family,
Our deepest sympathy to you at this very difficult time. We have the best memories of Denny from Sundowners. His smile just lit up the place. We will be praying for peace and comfort for all of you. Denny is at peace now. God Bless each of you.
Dennis and Debbie Mernick
A big hug to you Carol❤️Keith & we’re talking about some of our wonderful friends in the past maybe a month ago. We were wondering if Denny could still be alive as when we moved 4 yrs ago down by Springfield MO we knew he had been in failing health for a long time. Hugs to all the kids & so thankful Denny lived long enough to meet lots of precious grandchildren. May they keep you smiling and busy to help ease the terrible loss and grief
❤️Keith & Karen Breithaupt
Prayers for all and I’m so very sorry for such a huge loss to your family.
Carol, Angie, and Grainger family my heart breaks for you. Dennis was such an incredible man. Funny, kind, and he loved a good joke. As a healthcare worker it’s impossible to remember every patient, but Dennis and Carol are ones that will stick with me forever. Thinking of you all and praying for you and your peace. Please reach out if you need anything.
Dawn and family- Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. We are sorry for your loss.
Carol – You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you Michael, Tracy, Emma, Mick and Robert Unger. Plus Peanut, Hazel and Coco. We are right here if you need us. Love the Unger’s
Carol and family…. So sorry for your loss. The memories that we have of Sundowners, the camping trips and our annual New Years Eve party are priceless. I know how much Denny loved to dance and now he can dance all he wants. Hold on to all your memories to help you through this difficult time. I pray for courage and strength for all of you.
Our prayers & thoughts are with you Jeff & your family.
Carol & family,
It was a sincere pleasure to be able to work with Mr. Dennis at Rock Steady Boxing. I wont ever forget him. Hopes and prayers for the family
Our condolences to the Grainger family. Dennis was always an upbeat and friendly kind of guy and a wonderful neighbor.
