“In the midst of my sadness at your passing, comforting memories surface. I will always remember your welcoming friendliness, your kindness, your enthusiasm for life, and your compassion. I thoroughly enjoyed the meals you served as the skilled, cheerful chef at the Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat center. I miss those meals. Your belief in, and your dedication to, your chosen spiritual path is an inspiration as was your playing the harmonium for meditations and services at the center. I miss you already, Denny, my friend. Rest now in peace.”
