"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. 

I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. 

I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways 

Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. 

I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun. 

Of happy memories I leave when my life is done."

Theresa Marie Foglia Bailey

Just received this sad note along with these photos from Larry O'Brien...

 

My good buddy from school days passed away yesterday. I sent you his daughters post on fb hope you got it.Too soon for the family to think about a celebration of life, I will let you know when I hear something.

It is with a very heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dad, John Dennis “Denny” Rush. He was known to me and Kim as “Dad.”  He was known to our friends growing up as “Uncle Denny.”  He was known to Cole, Jenna, Tegan and all of their friends as “Papa.”



He was an amazing husband, father, uncle, brother, and papa to so many people. He taught Kim and I, along with Cole and Jenna, great work ethic, showed us how women should be treated, and of course gave us our sense of humor.He was married to our mom for 52 incredible years. The love they shared was truly a blessing.



He is now in heaven with the Lord, and if you were to ask him how he is doing, he would say, “Any better, I couldn’t stand it.” He fought through a traumatic brain injury, two bouts of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but lost his battle with glioblastoma all while keeping his sense of humor.While he will be truly missed, he will be forever in our hearts.



I love you DAD!  Thank you for the incredible life you gave us all 🙏😢
