Not sure what to say?

Dear Pat and Family, So sorry to hear about Dick's death. He and I were very close as kids and even though life took us in different directions I will always remember him as being the older brother (by two months) that I never had. As my older cousin and best friend those many years ago I will always treasure the times we shared together at Grandma Hatter's house and at the various shows we saw together as kids. I pray he will now have the peace that he so richly deserves. Fr. Herb Wheatley

Dear Pat and the Gilliam Family,
We are saddened at your loss, and remember Dick and all of you with great fondness as our dearest Oxford Road neighbors. Dick was the first neighbor to come over and say hello and welcome us as we moved into the house in 1978. He was the "pater familias" of a great family.
We all remember the great childhood memories that Rajiv and Dinesh had with Danny and April. And the fun they had in your house with all the big brothers. Pat, you and your dear...

Dear Gilliam Family,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. During this difficult time, may you find support from those who care for you and peace from all the love and kindness he brought to so many. I have many fond memories of the Oxford days that I will hold in my heart forever. You are in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of loss. I have fond memories of family time together, his sense of humor, and the twinkle in his eye when he would thank us for coming....and going. He left quite a legacy and will be deeply missed.
