I so wish I could have seen Dickie again. I will always love my dear friend and keep him in my heart. We spent so many days playing as little kids in Bellmead.
I will never forget him.

Dickie was my best friend as a child. We spent many days playing with cars in the dirt of Bellmead. I loved him then and still do. He was the kindest person I ever knew. I am flooded with tears and memories.
