My mom, Lena Mae, and Hank had so many good times together with Dick and Bessie. I'm so sorry to hear of Dicks passing. Mom has gotten to the point where I hesitate to mention the death of her friends. So I haven't, yet. I know she would be terribly upset. I am glad that she was able to visit Bessie the week before the loss of Dick. They hadn't seen each other since Bessie's stroke. It was a good visit, although Mom doesn't talk much anymore. They did visit a little, then she listened to Bessie and I visit. I am thinking about you all during this tough time.
