Aunt Joan,
While I was staying with you (when I was about 4) I used to sneak downstairs and Uncle Dick would let me watch movies with him...I used to curl up next to him while he sat in his recliner. Uncle Dick was always so good to me. My love and thoughts go out to the family.

Aunt Joan and everyone, I know it's been a long time but I just wanted you to know how sorry I am to hear of Uncle Dick's passing. My daughter Erika works at St. Annes and thought a great deal of him. What a small world. Love Vicki Sharp (Bowers)

My Dad is a good Father, a good man. He taught us kids many things. Dad, All my life is a circle, from sunrise to sundown, Dad told us to live the dash, the little thing called life between birth and death. He wanted all of us to live life to its fullest. I love you Mom and Dad
