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
