IN LOVING MEMORY In memorv of our son. Dennis Michael Nowakowski Sept. 18, 1945 Feb. 28, 1993 What defines a Son There are very few words that can truly define a son in relation to his family. Our son, Dennis, most perfectly emulates what God meant this person to be. He made us laugh, he made us cry. He made you feel as though you belonged to the greatest organization in the world — “The Family.” There are names that become a part of family life — mother, father, children and grandchildren. Yes, all of us — We identified with him and he certainly knew us. Yes — he was blessed, cherished and loved by all. From the countless friends whose life he enriched with laughter. From the many he welcomed into his home. We, all, will remember, and know. His life’s journey was far too short. May this beautiful man, our son, Dennis, rest in peace. On the “51st” anniversary of his birthday. Sadly missed Mother and Dad IN MEMORIUM Dennis Michael Nowakowski Sept. 18, 1945 Feb. 28, 1993 It is your day — brother. It reminds us of other birthdays that we shared. Your good conversation, your laughter and yes, your eyes so bright with love and happiness. These are all we cherish and keep close to our hearts. We will know when the angels are singing “Happy Birthday.” Your smile and laughter are as beautiful as ever. We all miss you. Rest well.
