Darrin and family, Brenda and family, Anita and Family. Where to begin. Dick and Doreen were truly the Love Story we all want. Someone like Nicholas Sparks could have written a book about them both. We will miss them both dearly. But have found comfort that they are together for all eternity. We will miss the camping trips, wedding party's at their home, and most of all the pot lucks.
