Not sure what to say?

Dearest Vickie, Randy, Sharon, and Dennis,
Mmmm....my posting did not appear, so trying again. If it shows up twice, forgive the repetition.

Seeing Dick's picture reminds me of his animated voice--I can hear him extolling the accomplishments of his children--he was so proud of each of you, and the broader family too.

Dear Vickie, Randy, Sharon, and Dennis,
