My guest book message is this: I will smile when I think of my 'Uncle Dickie' It always made me laugh then he called me 'little shelly' and I am bigger than my older sisters! And when I said hello to him he always said, 'Hi Dear' What a wonderful man he was and will be forever in our hearts. My deepest symphathy and prayers to the Ayd family.

My father just missed his 81 birthday. I visited him the Friday before he passed and I could tell he was in pain and that he had decided not to get better. I am sad and disappointed that he chose not to do his therapy.
