Just want to share with my Iowa forum friends.

My dear brother, Dennis Opheim, a business owner in Harlan, IA, died suddenly yesterday in his store. A friend dropped by to say hello and found Dennis on the floor with the phone in his hand. Dennis was only 61 and one of the truly good people in the world. He leaves his wife, Pam; son, Joshua; and a precious little grandson, Christopher, who isn't quite 2 yet. He'll not remember the grandpa who loved him so much. My heart is broken.

1. My sympathies to you!

My condolences on the loss of your brother.

How sad that his grandson will not be able to remember him in the years to come.

But I am sure that you will be there when he gets older, to tell him of your brother's love for him.

It's so hard to bear when our loved ones are taken too young.

Peace to you and your family.

9. Thanks to all of you Iowa Forumers out there

for your kind thoughts. So much appreciated. I just wanted people to know about Dennis and memorialize in a small way what a good man he was. Funeral Friday in Harlan. Some rough days ahead for all of us who will miss him so much.
