Bernice, I just heard of Dick's passing and am so sorry for your loss. While I didn't know Dick, it was obvious by the way you spoke of him that he was the love of your life and your best friend. You enjoyed golfing and spending time with your friends and family. I was always impressed by your relationship and devotion to one another. May all of your memories bring peace to your heart.
With Sympathy,
Michele

Our deepest condolences, Bernice. Richard was my confirmation sponsor; I took his name as my confirmation name. I have always had a special affinity for Richard as I felt week were bookends of all of the Gessner Cousins...him the oldest and me the youngest. You will all be in our prayers. (Paul & Bonnie)
