Beautiful, blessed service with incredible, memorable and spot-on tributes for an amazing person. Thank you for both the live stream and the recording of the service. I found myself watching and listening more than once, to how much Denny impacted so so many. I, like so many, had the chance to meet Denny and wasn't able to accept an opportunity to serve with him and several YL staff on the board back in the day. I remember so vividly being frustrated with the situation that I allowed to keep me from that call, and was often left wondering how God might use that decision still, in calling me now, to serve on his great mission to know Him. Denny was so gracious, inviting, understanding and supportive. He was encouraging and nudged while also leaving enough room to make and own decisions for ourselves. Being a more distant Denny-fan from afar, I feel a little presumptuous writing here, but Denny, Bruce H, Mike G, Earl, UPC, are all people and a place that Jesus blessed me with over several years. At this time of sorrow and grief, I want to thank the Ryberg family for role modeling "love your neighbor", "meeting everyone where they are, and leading/loving them to know Jesus", and being authentic humans every step of the way. I hope I can hang out with Denny someday, in eternity since I wasn't able to as much I'd have liked, here on earth. Even in his passing, Denny is impacting so many lives. Thank you so very much. :)
