Uncle Jack, Catherine, Janet, Karen, Mary and families: Gary and I were so sorry to hear about the death of Aunt Nee. Gary and I were just telling the kids what wonderful Christmases we had at your house and how sad it was when our families got so big we outgrew your house. But a wonderful memory. Sorry we were not able to be there for the services, Erika and Jason said they were beautiful. Love her picture. All our love Gary and Diane Erskine.

I was so sorry to hear of the death of Anita. I have many many special memories of staying at the Dickerson house while at St. Albert High School. Both Jack and Anita were always so gracious to me.
