Carol, Whitney and Blake,
In our thoughts and prayers, of course. My heart is full of great memories of our time together; in Roanoke, at the Lake House, at the farm in Texas, at the beach in South Carolina.....my how time flies. You all have a very special place in my heart as Uncle DIckie always will. Much love to you all, you are missed.

Dear Carol,
Jeff called me today to tell me of Dickie's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the first time I came to USC... you and Dickie were so kind to me and I remember how much fun we always had! I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I am glad that I did have the honor of knowing Dickie. I am sorry that I didn’t see more of the two of you and your family. It seems that it was just yesterday that you came to my wedding and that was 18 years ago. Where does the time go? Every time I get a e-mail from Pi Kappa Alpha or USC I think of all the good times I had and the friends I made. I remember all the good times we had and how Dickie let me barrow his Vet to go Student teach. I think I could write a book on the many good...

Dear Carol,
I was very sad to hear of Dickie's passing. I have wonderful memories of the times we spent at Pi Kappa Alpha.
Even though we haven't seen each other in a long time, I want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Warmest regards,

We are good friends of his son Blake. You two did a great job raising him, his fathers strength and character is evident in the man Blake is today. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to your family-

Carol,

I am the lady that you met in the CCU waiting room on Tuesday morning. My thoughts and prayers have been continuous for you, your children, family and friends. I will never forget sharing those moments with you when you first arrived at the hospital. I pray that God is holding you and your children ever so close to him during this time of sorrow - lean upon him for the strength that only he can provide.
