Dick,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during such a sad time.
I have such fun and fond memories of both you and Lorraine through the years ever since I was just a little girl going off to school at Immanuel.
I remember the year that Lorraine and Mom were into painting shirts... Mindy and I watched "The Parent Trap" in your living room while they laughed and painted in the kitchen.
You've always been like a Grandfather to me.
Thoughts and Prayers,
Pemdy...

Dear Dick and all the family,
You are,and have been, in my thoughts and prayers for a number of years. I missed Lorraine at St. Therese the last times I was there in 2005 before moving to Duluth. A very joyful day I will never forget is the celebration of your Golden Wedding. The entire family was hospitality plus.
I will be with you in spirit these next few days. Be assured of my sympathy and prayers.
