Dear Leora, Darlene, and Jeannie,
Just heard about Dicks passing. Cindy and I were out of town at the time. We have many fond memories of Dick and of course you and Jeannie and the many times we were at your home. He was a kind and thoughtful man and you all will always have a special place in our hearts. So sorry to have missed you all but I know we will all be together again some day. Love and prayers to all.
