Not sure what to say?

Today is Jan. 22, 2010..And I would like to say that I was blessed to have such a big wonderful family.. To date Mama and Papa and my sister Laurie have all passed and are with my Lord God in heaven..I miss them all so very much.

It is so sad to see another really special person leave us. Anyone that knew Dick and Virginia was fortunate to be a part of their world. My dad was always in awe of Dick Vitek and treasured any time to be with him. As an undergraduate when Dick was at A&M, daddy idolized what he said was the best football player ever at A&M. I knew him as a friend, business partner and mentor. I will never forget the Vitek family...I am so lucky to have danced, drank and dined with the Viteks. Thanks to all...

Dear Viteks, Anastazia has shared with me her wonderful experiences and fun times she had over the years with Dick and Virginia.You all are blessed to have had these jewels in your lives. I am grateful to hear the stories. My deep felt sympathy to you all.

Anastazia, our heartfelt thoughts and deepest sympathy to you and your family. Love, Allan and Paulette

To all Viteks-I ran across this and wanted to send it to you. I just love it.......To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you...

Dick and Ging Ging, LeAnn and I want to give our thoughts and prayers to your family. Your mother and father, were wonderful people who had a beautiful spirit. Your Campus Dr family is here for you all.
Love,
Marc, LeAnn, Austin, and Lauren Person

We are saddened to hear of this loss. Dick and Virginia meant so much to us and connected us with our present home. We have enjoyed so many special and fun times with all the family and Dick's special barbecue recipe remains in our "loved recipe" file. Sorry we missed seeing you all. Our love and prayers are with you.

Jo and Dick: We are sharing the feeling of your loss. We are comforted with the knowledge that we will see him again along with all of our loved ones lost. You are blessed to have your family in your grief.
