I remember attending your wedding, Betty. I was in my teens. I send my condolences and wish you and family well. I remember you and Dick from Ralston reunions, too. How fast time has flown. I am now a widow, 76, living in Springfield, and am a great-grandmother myself. May God bless you and keep you.
Blessings,
Joyce Ralston Williams

Betty, Beth and Rick,
I was sorry to hear of Dick's passing, he was one of those men who will always have a special place in my heart. His smile, laugh, love of his family and life in general will always bring back fond memories. I remember our trips to Shakey's Pizza in Peoria, church activities, and his jokes back and forth with my dad. I send my love and sympathy to you and your entire family.

Rick,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Had I known sooner I would have made an attempt to attend his funeral today. Your Dad was a wonderful person, I always enjoyed visiting with him on my trips back to Galesburg. My deepest condolences to you, your Mother, and the rest of your family.
