Dear Mary and family: I am so sorry for your loss. I was scrolling on the internet and saw Dennis’s obit. I am so glad I got to talk to Him a long while back for a few hours on the phone when I relayed to him my mom…his Aunt had passed. We got to reminisce from when we were kids. It’s tough when as we grow older, and in my case had moved away when I was a teenager as my dad/Dennis uncle took a job in another state, our lives got hectic and we ventured into a new part of our lives where we grow apart and are no longer keeping in touch. I hope Dennis is at peace and know he is looking down on everyone and is in a much better place. With Love….Charlene and Richard

I am very sorry for your loss. Wishing I could be there today for the memorial. He was a good Uncle. Many positive childhood memories, I can easily recall how he always had interest in keeping us kids entertained. I wish you all healing today and going forward in the months ahead.

When We lost You. (Poem) We wish we could see you one more time, Come walking through the door.... But we know that is impossible, We hear your voice no more. We know you can feel our tears And you don't want us to cry, Yet our hearts are broken because We can't understand why someone So precious had to die. We pray that God will give us strength And somehow get us through.... As we struggle with the heartache That came when we lost You.... Love Always, Catina, Mike, Charly and Libby too!

RIP Mr Ceolla, I could go on for ages with memories spending time with you and your family. From your home, yard, pool, driveway, garage, shop and all the times you dealt with your son and myself. A particular funny memory was a time I joined your family on a trip up north.. somewhere up north... you had decided Stephen and yourself oughta ski together on this lake. That choice left me behind the wheel of the boat and your face as I'm arcing you both near the shoreline was reminiscent of John Candy in the Great Outdoors, thanks for being patient! I believe it was that same trip we decided to go fishing for crappie (we slayed them) and like the responsible Wisconsites we are, bought fishing licenses... The time comes comes and we're getting lines wet and wouldn't you know it Alex leaves his license at the cabin. Your back and forth with the DNR guy I'll never forget. We buried the hatchet at a Subway on the way home and had a good laugh. I always thought the inside of your vehicles smelled good too. Dennis I love you and Bless you heart, we'll see you on the other side soon. Thanks for all the memories and I'm sorry (medium sorry....) for the unmentioned minor headaches thought the years. You were always great to all of us :) RIP Dennis Ceolla, wonderful man Love, Alex Moss
