Dear Rita and Barry:

I am so very sorry to hear about your father. I have very fond memories of visiting with all of you as a child and the few times I was able to visit Uncle Wayne as an adult.

All of us from the Dison Family in Indianapolis are sorry that we were unable to make it to the funeral.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Your Cousin,

Nan

Rita and family,
So sorry to hear about you father. I grew up driving by his house and always seeing him on his gator working on the garden. Then later I would make many trips up 4th St. in my police cruiser and he was still there. He was like a staple in my life although I never met him. I know you will miss him dearly but rest assured that I will miss him as well.
