Er werden er bijna 3.000 van verkocht waarvan € 12.000 euro naar de Vereniging voor Spierziekte Nederland ging voor onderzoek.

Op 4 augustus hebben wij afscheid genomen van Dennis in de Basiliek in Hulst



Before I'll be gone
The clock is moving
Towards the end of my life
Before that day has come
I'd like to feel real love, from you
I know it's difficult in this situation
I can imagine all your worries
Why wouldn't we try and love each other
And all of our fears love will mend
So let us use all the time I have left
Be my lover, be my friend
Refrein:
Before I'll be gone
Let us do the things we love to do
Before I'll be gone
In the shortness of my life
Bring me joy, be my happiness
Be my friend for eternity, until eternity
I'm glad I experienced many beautiful moments
I'm just searching for a final part
Please reach out your heart to me
And let us make a final start
Refrein:
Before I'll be gone
Let us do the things we love to do
Before I'll be gone
In the shortness of my life
Bring me joy, I'll be the sunshine to you
Be my friend for evermore
So come to me, make my day
Please stay
