How wonderful to have parents so in love that to exist one without the other was unthinkable....You all have had wonderful role models in Dick and Jean -- hard workers, compassionate, able to bring out the best in others while giving of themselves. They will be greatly missed, not only by family, but by friends and acquaintances as well. My thoughts and prayers are will you.

Dear Mike, Fran and Family:
I am so sorry for the loss of both your mother and father. I have known your parents for 25 years. They are two of the most caring and giving people I have ever known. They may be gone in body, but I know they are still here in spirit and looking down on their wonderful family. I would like to think that I am a better person for knowing both of them. May God Bless you all.
