To Dick and Julie's Children and extended family: Fond memories will always remain with us of your mom and dad. They were a wonderful couple who we enjoyed being with even though our get-togethers in recent years were few. Our heartfelt condolences to you all.

Now both of our best friends, of many years, are gone and the loss is hard to face. Looking forward to life without them is painful but we have a great memory bank which is stored full. We are extending a great deal of love to all of the family.

Melissa and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Love you , "T"
