Flora, Eddie, Earl and families, I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I didn't really know your brother and have lost touch with all of you over the years I think of you often and have great memories from when we were kids in Throop and you came out to the house. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. I'm so sorry I just found out about Dicks' passing. I hope you are all well.

My favorite bible verse was also Uncle Dick's!
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
[a]I will fear no evil,for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
I will miss you and I am truly glad that MacKenzie had a chance to know you.
Loving you,
Tiffy

I really didnt know Uncle Dick, but all the great stories my mom and grandma tell me sound like he was an AMAZING guy, and i bet he was! I would have loved to get to kno Uncle Dick alot more, but he has been for a long time. No one should have to go through that, but we all kno he is in a better place and God will be keeping a good eye on him for us! Love you and You will be missed greatly!
