Dear Casey and family,
Neta was an awesome person to be around. Her vibrant personallity was addictive and being around her was such joy. I know that there is a big hole in your family now and that you miss her so very much but knowing that she is with her Jesus and Fred sure helps the healing. Take comfort in yourselves, lean on one another and talk about the wonderful times that you had with Neta. I pray that our wonderful Lord and Savior comfort you during this time.

Neta Dirickson, a kind, caring, loving, beautiful woman. Her presence brought such joy. She and her family were friends with my family when they lived at Bula. Their son, Ivan, was named after my Daddy. I hold onto many fond memories of our time with the Dirickson family. Love and sympathy to the family. I know the angels rejoiced while welcoming Neta home.
