Diane, I am a cousin to Dennis. I recall Dennis wearing his Edberg School sweater....often. He always managed to have the 'cool' look about him. I moved Eastern Canada as a young woman therefore lost contact with many of my relatives. I have often thought of Delores, Dennis and Arlene wondering where they were living. I extend my condolences to you and your family. Thinking of you. Joanne ~ Joanne (Miklos) Borgstrom


even though we are long lost cousins, we would like to extend our condolences to your family. ~ Shirley and Doris


I was sorry to hear about Dennis. My condolences to you Diane and your family. Thinking of you. ~ Chris Hultin


I just heard about Dennis passing. Dennis was a great friend, always entertaining and a joy to be around. He will be sorely missed. Sending my sympathy to Diane and your whole family. I won't forget. ~ Larry Woods


Hi there Borgstrom family Sorry to read that Dennis passed away. We used to live across the street in Heemskerk. Saw the poem Dawn wrote me to Years ago about an elephant in my poverty album and decided to try and find you. Sorry to find this sad message and hope you all are well Greetings from Holland ~ Miriam
