Dear Nancy and family.......we are so sorry for your loss and extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to you. The first time I ever met Dick, years ago, was when I was waitressing at Earl's. You were both faithful, kind customers who brightened my day and never complained when I was an airhead! It was an honor and a privilege to know Dick. Please know we love you and will be prayer warriors on your behalf over here in Delevan.....praying for the Lord's everlasting arms to comfort, support, and guide you at this time and in the future, and praying that the Lord's presence will give you peace at this difficult time. In Christ's Love.....Brenda, Mark and Sarah
