Judy, Michael,Sharon,and MaryElizabeth,
I had the good fortune of visiting with Dickie and Judy while they were visiting in DE last summer. It had been many years since our last get together. I feel blessed to have reconnected with him and to finally meet Judy.
Mike and Sharon you don't remember me but my sister Carolyn took care of you summers ago when you were ssmall while your dad was looking for a housekeeper.
I visited often and had a great time with you. My mom Dot was the 1st born Simpson grandchild, she got to chaperon at Bay Ridge when Uncle Wally and Aunt Bess couldn't be there. Good times were had by all! Joan my deepest sympathy to you, I know you will miss your brother, Fond memories. God bless all of you. I know that Dickie is in good hands and is smiling down on us all. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you today.
