"Growing up, we lived in several different states, and Mom and Dad would pack up at a moment's notice and head for home to Tennessee for a visit. I couldn't wait to see my grandparents, my aunts and uncles and cousins. But there was no one like Denny and Doug! Denny and Doug, my mom's two youngest brothers, have always been more like brothers to me than uncles. Denny was nine when I was born and Doug even younger. They would pack me around and play with me and I couldn't wait to get to Tennessee to see them. Uncle Denny has left us and we are all heartbroken. Please keep his children, my Mom and all her brothers and sisters and all of our family in your prayers. Hug your loved ones daily and say I love you every single time. "
