Dear Laura, Linda, and Richard... Although it has been many years since I've had personal contact with your family, I am grieved at the loss of Dick. He and your mother (my cousin Lorraine) were memorable hosts to me years ago in Appleton, and I have remained close to her sister (your aunt) Marion, always asking about Dick and the family. I share your sorrow and hope you find comfort in all the good memories!
