Dennis wanted a watermelon seed planted on his grave and have some of his ashes thrown down the Withlacoochee River. "Don't stand by my grave and weep, for I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I'm the diamond's glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. Don't stand by my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die." "Life is not a mystery to be solved, but an adventure to be lived!" "Rest in peace, you will no longer be limited by illness and disabilities." A Celebration of Life is TBD.
