Florida September 2007
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We had so much fun with Dick and Janice in Florida in Sept. I am so grateful we could all go on the trip. The joke was that everyone was the "favorite niece"
Each time we took a photo instead of saying "cheese" Dick would say "favorite niece" He will be missed by us all.
Love - from one of the "many" favorite nieces.
