Dear Linda, Jimmy, Jeff, Jennifer and families,
My mother called to tell me about Dick. I know he had been sick for some time and when my parents were up in Mass. and saw you, Linda, she knew it was serious. I am so sorry. It is never easy when someone we love goes away. I like to think that Acky is up there with her camera waiting to take a picture of him and to fill her in on all of you.
I wish I could come to the services. It is always hard to be away at times like this. Please know that he is in my heart, and you are all in my prayers. Miss you all.
Love, Debbie and Tod, Chris, Kylie, Erica, and Collin Caflisch
