Well, I still can't believe that he left so soon but I'm glad to have known him.
May your family know what a kind heart you possessed. After many years you came by and visited Carol and I and as soon as you walked in the door and smiled the memories poured through our hearts.
Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, Love leaves a memory that no one can steal.
Dickie you left footprints on my heart
and my memories of you are grand!
Thank you for thinking of us the day before and tell your Mom and Dad to ease your soul into heaven. Your dad, Conway, a man's man! Faith, Hope and Love and you knew what was the most important. Love!

Dickie I've told you this so many times, I love you with all my heart. You were my best-friend, someone I looked to for information and guidance. I miss you more then words can tell you. I know you'd kick me in the behind for staying so upset but I just miss seeing you here in the house and hearing you banging around. It's not going to ever be the same.
I'll see you again one-day soon. I love you sweetheart.
