Alda.
You've been far away and yet so close. So few opportunities to see the embrace of your smile yet each vist has left an enduring warmth in my heart for you. And so you remain.
Dick, you've been a lucky man to have been able to make Alda so happy. To have shared so much. Forever.
With fond memories, Barb and I offer our sympathy.

I have many happy memories from my childhood of my Aunt Alda. She was always fun and full of life and laughter. Deepest sympathy to Dick and Randy, all her family and friends.

Where do I start?
Funny, Funny, Funny!
Kind, Kind, Kind!
She would bring my Uncle John dinner and come sit in the back yard with us. Uncle John loved Alda and Dick... and Randy....until Randy threatend to shoot my dog for chasing his cat 'Cookie Shoes'. :)
Uncle John and Alda are probably right now discussing the ladder on the fence!
The heart is only so big and one of those places has been taken by Alda. I will never forget her.
Dick, in the event of anyone close to me fighting a serious disease.. I hope I will be as loving and caring as you - I say that because I don't know if I would have your strength.
Love, Art Rowe

My heart goes out to Randy, Casey and the love of her life, Richard.
Alda was a beautiful lady with a nice sense of humor who made it a pleasure to live on Dibble in Ballard.
She took care of Harry, Rocky and myself as she did her own.
She will be missed.
